Podcasts
Her podcast is a great place to start with just getting started!
The Crappy Childhood Fairy: Home
Alyssa shares a lot about her codependency recovery journey. She is more on the spiritual side and does a lot of imagery and somatic work.
Codependency Alchemy: The Podcast on Apple Podcasts
Just getting started with this podcast but liking it so far. It talks a lot about chronic pain, but you can substitute pain for anxiety or other symptoms.
Like Mind, Like Body Podcast - Curable Health
Books
Great starter book for just learning about trauma. I think every healthcare provider needs to read this!
What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma
This is a great daily read. It has short passages with topics to focus on. It would be a great way to read and then journal on the topic.
The Language of Letting Go
Such a great book as an intro to codependency! This was really emotionally hard for me to read. I'd suggest taking your time and working through this slowly.
Codependent No More
Great book to help with learning about emotions. There is more religion tied in, so just be aware depending on your religious beliefs.
The Voice of the Heart: A Call to Full Living
Great resource book that can be read chapter by chapter rather than start to finish. There is a workbook that can be bought too with additional questions to help with reflection.
Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving
This book was great for me to help recognize behaviors of others and learn how to respond to those behaviors. This is one that you will go back and reference over and over again!
In Sheep's Clothing: Dealing with Manipulative People
Parenting with Trauma, Breaking the Cycle Resources
Dr Becky has great resources and scripts for how to be a strong and sturdy leader for your children. So good!
Parenting Podcast - Good Inside
Great resources on how to relate to and parent your children! Their social media accounts are great daily reminders. Their podcast episodes are pretty good too, but be prepared for more mom-related chat thrown in.
Big Little Feelings
Other Resources
Great website with information on CPTSD. They have educational classes as well on a regular basis.
