Samantha’s Review: This book is packed with psychoeducation on the impact of trauma on the body and the brain. It discusses certain studies and helps you understand how your trauma may have impacted you. There are some sections that are a little triggering for trauma and sexual abuse survivors. So, making sure you are skilled in practicing grounding techniques during those sections will be helpful.

Samantha’s Review: This book is very informative and such an interesting read. It goes into detail about how we can inherit trauma from previous generations that might not even be ours and how to get through it. It also includes studies that prove generational trauma is real and provides some examples of that.

Samantha’s Review: I highly recommend this book if you have experienced childhood trauma from abusive or emotionally unavailable parents. It reviews the different types of emotionally immature parents, how it impacts children into adulthood, and how to work through it.

Samantha’s Review: This book discusses the author's experience with physical abuse throughout childhood and how it has shaped her life as an adult. She provides some great research on Complex PTSD. She talks about her experience with substance abuse, anger, depression, low self-esteem, and issues with relationships. She was born in Malaysia but grew up in the Bay Area — San Jose, CA. She shares her experiences coming from an immigrant family and being raised in a big city. This book has been triggering for some clients who have experienced physical abuse so make sure you practice grounding techniques and take breaks as needed.
