This is a great book about trauma and recovery. Dr Perry breaks down symptoms of ptsd and removes the stigma of trauma with a clear path for moving forward.

This book was not a "self-help" book per se, but more of a self-awareness/self-reflection book. It delved into a lot of the science, on an understandable level behind trauma, childhood experiences and how they affect us as adults, as well as how societal systems work with trauma. I learned so much and I thought it was very insightful.
