Thoughtfully selected books exploring trauma, relationships, emotions, the nervous system and personal growth.

Books can sometimes give us language for experiences that have been difficult to understand or put into words.

These recommendations are offered for education and reflection and aren't a substitute for individualized therapy or mental-health care.
