What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma
Description
In this candid and deeply researched memoir, a successful radio producer confronts the complex post-traumatic stress disorder rooted in years of childhood abuse, neglect, and abandonment. Her diagnosis prompts an unflinching exploration of how trauma shapes the mind, body, relationships, and sense of self—and leads her to seek answers through therapy, scientific research, and conversations with experts and fellow survivors. Tracing the impact of immigrant and intergenerational trauma from California to Malaysia, she investigates both the forces that shaped her past and the possibilities for healing. Frank, compassionate, and ultimately hopeful, the book offers a nuanced account of learning not to erase trauma, but to live with greater agency and understanding.
