The Boy Who Was Raised As A Dog

Trigger warning for this content.

This book sparked a significant and helpful shift in my healing journey. The perspective of trauma in the context of biology, general health and brain development positively changed my life.

Stillness Speaks

This book was a necessary read that supported me between heavier topics. It helped promote self-reflection, challenge my ego, all while allowing better conceptualization of “our place in this world,” and encouraging mindfulness.

Book cover: The Body Keeps the Score

The Body Keeps The Score

Trigger warning for this content.

Another 5-start read to align concepts of trauma with consideration to healing the mind, body, spirit; in context of biology, neuroscience & overall wellness.


Tao Te Ching

Stillness Speaks references concepts from various religions. The concepts mentioned from Tao Te Ching spoke to me the most, and I’m beyond grateful for this book’s impact on my life and mindset.

What Happened to You

Another solid explanation of trauma. Probably a less triggering of a read than The Boy Who Was Raised As a Dog, for someone just starting their healing journey.

Please take care of yourself.

These books are a great jumpstart to new perspectives, but I strongly suggest combining this with licensed therapy with a professional qualified and equipped to help you through processing your story.

Narrow your search with filters for:

  • Insurance they accept.
  • Based on your personal issues.
  • Preferred age, gender, ethnicity served, sexuality, language, faith and more!
