What my bones know

a memoir of healing from complex trauma

"By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: she had her dream job as a radio producer at 'This American Life' and had won an Emmy. But behind her office door she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk. After years of questioning what was wrong with her, she was diagnosed with Complex PTSD--a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years. Both of Stephanie's parents had abandoned her as a teenager after years of physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she'd overcome her trauma, but her diagnosis illuminated the ways in which her past continued to threaten her health, her relationships, and her career. . . . In this . . . researched account, Stephanie interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. . . . Ultimately, she discovers that you don't move on from trauma but you can learn to move with it"--Provided by publisher.
