What My Bones Know A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

Stephanie Foo who produced this episode and did so many great stories for our show came out with a book a couple years ago after she left our show called What My Bones Know.

So let's start off by saying that Stephanie Fu is a writer and the author of The New York Times Best Seller, What My Bones Know, which I have read more than once and is an absolutely beautiful and extremely helpful book.

And it's a memoir of healing from complex trauma.

And it's always the highest compliment when somebody tells me that they read my book more than once.

It's like literature the first time.

And so I left my job at this American life and yeah, I just dedicated my time full-time to reading books and articles about trauma and just trying different therapies and going to yoga and meditation classes and trying to fix my brain.

The result is a new book called What My Bones Know, A Memoir Of Healing From Complex Trauma.

The list of symptoms is not so much a medical document as it is a biography of my life, the difficulty regulating my emotions, the tendency to overshare and trust the wrong people, the dismal self-loathing, the trouble I have maintaining relationships, the unhealthy relationship with my abuser, the tendency to be aggressive but unable to tolerate aggression from others. It's all true, it's all me.

The name of my book is what my bones know a memoir of healing from complex trauma it should be available everywhere and the audiobook actually features real tape from my sessions with Dr. Homme

What my bones know by Stephanie Fu. It's about complex PTSD.

I love what my what my bones know.
