Long before I started trauma therapy, I began to understand myself and my experiences through reading stories about people living with trauma. During my undergraduate degree, I found myself in the world of trauma studies and psychoanalytic theory. It wasn’t until my PhD that I began to read books by trauma therapists and mental health practitioners.
I offer this syllabus for those looking for a way into learning about trauma. I’m an interdisciplinary learner, and so I offer texts across a variety of genres, including nonfiction, memoir, self-help, fiction, and poetry. I’ve also organized books based on topics of interest, so you may find some overlap across reading lists. This is in no way a comprehensive list. Rather, one curated based on my understanding that when we heal ourselves, we heal the world we live in. I’d love to know what you’d add to the list(s)!
This is a free resource, and you’d like to send a tip, you can do so through my website, through Venmo at Margeaux-Feldman or PayPal at paypal.me/MargeauxFeldman. Your support truly does make this work possible for me, and enables me to continue to create free resources as a chronically ill human.
