What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing from Complex Trauma

Beautiful, candid and moving memoir of trauma
I really enjoyed this book. A powerful telling of a painful and challenge life and the hope and healing that can come through the power of self love and acceptance. Foo is very witty and entertaining as a narrator as well so the story is always engaging. Couldn’t put it down. It inspired me in my own journey with healing.

so good!
This book is a must-read for anybody who has experienced trauma or works with or loves anyone with trauma. I don’t normally write reviews but I read this in two days. This was beautifully written and full of facts as well as personal experience.

Wow
This was a good book on trauma and complex PTSD. I enjoyed learning about her life and how she found her way to better mindset. A lot of things resonated with me in this book and I loved the broad range of things I learned. Its a memoir, but I really think its a good read for those who want to read about this topic.

WOW
There are no words to describe how I feel after I read Stephanie's portrayal of her Complex PTSD. Although she is Asian and I am not, I can relate to the difficult traumas that she faced. Every time I put down the book I feel like crying. Kudos to her for coming out so openly. There are no words to describe how I feel after reading Stephanie's portrayal of her Complex PTSD.

Kudos to her for being so open about her experiences.I find it hard to express the depth of my emotions after reading Stephanie's insightful portrayal of her experience with Complex PTSD. Despite the differences in our backgrounds—she is Asian and I am not—I resonate deeply with the challenging traumas she has faced throughout her life. Each time I set the book down, my heart feels heavy, and I can't help but feel overwhelmed, often on the verge of tears. I truly admire her courage in sharing such personal and painful experiences so openly, shining a light on issues that many people struggle with in silence. Her story not only evokes empathy but also serves as a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. Kudos to her for her bravery and transparency!

Excellent Book!
This book was incredible! The author's struggles are relatable in many ways because she is vulnerable and honest about her journey.

More effective than other self help books
I wasn’t sure what to expect. Some moments of the author’s childhood were hard to read. Other times it really got to me how universal CPTSD experiences can feel like. I’m only halfway through but it was definitely a worthy read, and one I wish I came across as a much younger version of myself early on in this journey.
