Great starter book for just learning about trauma. I think every healthcare provider needs to read this!

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.

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.

Great book to help with learning about emotions. There is more religion tied in, so just be aware depending on your religious beliefs.

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.

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.
