This is an excellent list, Julie. I want to add a book to it.
I think it’s one you will get a lot out of: The Past is Always Present by Dr. Ronald Ruden. Havening Touch is a great tool to add to soothe your nervous system and heal.
Thank you, Nicola, for the additional book reco! It looks like it is fairly scarce to get a copy of it. (Not on Audible, the paperback is $34 on Amazon and unavailable at my local library. There is a larger library near me that I will check for this book.)
I'd love to add the book to the list, but I'm pausing due to the difficulty in finding it. Are you aware of an easier way for readers to obtain it?
Thank you so much!
