Your Body Keeps the Score - NYT Bestselling Book
Know My Name - Chanel Miller
It's important to note: that you don't always "think" with trauma. It's often just felt in your body, because your body and mind are one and always in communication with each other. You cannot heal from trauma without feeling your body, listening to it, and allowing it to be and heal.
