This is a really informative book about the history and research of trauma. However, being published in the 50s means it‘s extremely outdated in many ways. Particularly in the language that is used, and lacking much intersectionality when it comes to who is most impacted by trauma in systemic ways. I would recommend as a foundational text about trauma though!
I will likely finish both kindle books this week. I am going to give French Eating a few more pages before deciding whether or not to continue on. I hate not finishing an #LMPBC choice but I‘m finding the author a bit annoying.
Since MtAoFE wasn‘t holding my attention last night I turned to Netflix and watched both of Hannah Gadsby‘s comedy specials. Thankfully, I watched them in order of release. She‘s smart, funny, brave, insightful. ⬇️
What are the odds?? #Netflix is releasing a documentary about the very book I'm studying!

pickWowza! This book was an unexpected combination of a deep dove into moving out of burnout and the underlying societal systems that drive us into it. A very thorough exploration of patriarchy and it‘s effects on modern day women.
pickThe incredible true story of a married couple with 12 kids, 6 of whom had schizophrenia. The dynamics of this family get more and more shocking as more and more secrets are revealed.
Fascinating, disturbing, and well-researched.
