If you’re needing a book recommendation, you’ve come to the right place!
Reading increases empathy and helps you to be more sensitive both to your own story and to the stories of those around you. I share book recommendations regularly because having words to describe the things that did and didn't happen to you is a powerful way to make meaning and heal from trauma. To that end, here are a few of my favorite books that I’ve found to be generous with their language and invite you to hold your story with greater depth, compassion, and understanding.
If you find yourself drawn to these books, resonating with their words, and seeing glimpses of your own story within them, therapy can be a natural next step in deepening your healing journey. Having the support of a therapist can help you process what you’re reading, explore your experiences with greater clarity, and move toward meaningful change. If you're curious about what therapy might look like for you, I’d love to connect. Click here to schedule a free phone consultation, and let’s explore how this work can support you.
