Braiding Sweet Grass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. I wouldn’t say it changed me life but it helped shift my perspective of reality and the world around us

2024-11-29 14:18:53 +0000 UTCJonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. It’s a short novel about a seagull who is ostracized from his flock for wanting to learn different flying techniques instead of just hunting for fish like everyone else in the flock and he is ushered into a new flock that celebrates his different way of thinking. It was my mom’s older sister’s favorite book and she left it and my grandparents house in her old room and I would stay in her room as a kid every summer. I don’t remember the first time I read it because I would reread it constantly, but I do know that I was pretty young. I didn’t understand why it resonated with me so much but I had a silver seagull necklace and then when I was 27 I got a tattoo of a specific scene on the top of my foot (my only tat). It wasn’t until I realized I’m auDHD that it all clicked. I am Jonathan, and so is my aunt. It’s such a beautiful story.

2024-11-28 01:55:12 +0000 UTCWhat my Bones Know by Stephanie Foo was the first book about trauma that I actually related to, and gave me a little bit of a boost towards healing my complex ptsd. I felt like the author scooped out my guts and then handed them to me on a platter to examine. In a good way. Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma, and Nonmanogamy by Jessica Fern was recommended to me by my therapist and it explained attachment styles and how they interact with each other in a way that really stuck with me. I think about it often and refer back to it when I'm feeling some kinda way in my relrelationships. It's not just for people who are poly either, the information is SO helpful for anyone in any sort of relationship.

2024-11-27 21:55:49 +0000 UTCYeh I can think of three I have always know I'm different and never understood why my brain works differently to everyone I know and as I got older I began to notice that where ever I was I never fit in and I never understood why until I was 14 I was diagnosed with a thing called dyspraxia it effects my balance and coordination the occupational therapist gave me a book and it's called caged in chaos and when I read it thing began to become mutch clearer then my auntie who worked with people with all sorts of different disabilities told me that dyspraxia didn't come on it's own it always comes with something else now I had been diagnosed with learning difficulties when I was a child but my brain began to research things and came across the next book with was called freaks and geeks of Asperger's syndrome and that made more sense but the one that made everything clear was the book they gave me when I was diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder or ASD and that was called the nine degrees of autism and that open my mind into an understanding of yea my brain works differently but that is a super power and not something that is wrong with me I taught me that being autistic isn't a bad thing. It also helped me understand that just because I have autism doesn't mean that im not capable in fact I'm probably more capable than mose people who don't have autism

2024-11-27 18:36:49 +0000 UTCJust googled the description. Is it "Traumatic Experience and the Brain: A Handbook for Understanding and Treating Those Traumatized as Children" by Dave Ziegler?

2024-11-27 18:30:36 +0000 UTCThere are a few books that have changed my life or at least had a huge impact on me that I really recommend. 1. Reasons To Stay Alive by Matt Haig. 2. Staying Strong: 365 Days a Year by Demi Lovato (Quotes/positive affirmations for each day of the year). 3. Icelandic book called Uppkomin börn alkóhólista (Adult children of alcoholics). 4. This is gonna sound weird but Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban (the third one), more specifically one aspect of it called Dementors. I know you've read some of the books but in case you don't know/remember, the Dementors are the guards of the wizard prison Azkaban. But on a deeper level, they are a metaphor for depression as they literally suck the happiness out. To this day I still feel like it's the most accurate and simple description of it I've ever heard. "How do you expect me to grow if you won't let me blow" 🤣 Btw, it's a fictional book (though some think it may have been inspired by Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estés). There is a book under this name by Ifthaker Hossain that was released in 2015, so obviously long after this aired. Anyway, I understand why Joey feels that way but I also understand where Ross is coming from. Ross is very logical and he IS being a good friend by telling him to be realistic. Joey has some of the others to tell him to be hopeful and wait for a good part but that's just not how Ross thinks.

2024-11-27 18:19:52 +0000 UTCNo I have not read a book that changed my personal life. But there was a book I read about trauma and what it does to children's behaviour at nursery and schools ( sorry can't remember the name now it was a long time ago) that really helped me be a much better room leader and child practitioner.

2024-11-27 18:07:43 +0000 UTCIn An Unspoken Voice: How the Body Releases Trauma and Restores Goodness First heard of this book on Mayim Bialik’s podcast. I strongly recommend it to anyone who has lived through trauma of any sort.
