What My Bones Know A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

In this sad but powerful memoir Stephanie Foo invites us on her journey of getting diagnosed with Complex PTSD in her mid-twenties. She paints a picture of the trauma she endured during her childhood and how it affected her in her adult years. She puts special focus on the Asian American community in San Jose, pointing out the generational trauma of immigration. She connects her personal experiences with journalism, interviewing many professionals and childhood trauma survivors. “What my Bones Know” is one of those memoirs that is easily read while still maintaining an informative tone. It shows that C-PTSD while uncurable can be managed and that those who suffer from it aren’t dysfunctional. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with this disorder or those who are interested in learning more about it.
