We’re excited to share our latest book club selection: What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo. 📚

This powerful memoir explores complex PTSD, healing, and the lifelong journey of self-compassion with honesty and courage. We’re grateful to Stephanie Foo for such an important and deeply personal contribution to the conversation around trauma and recovery.

As therapists, this book invites us to reflect on how we show up for those we serve. We strive to embody the attunement, curiosity, and skill demonstrated by Dr. Jacob Ham.

We invite our community to read along with us.

Let’s continue learning, growing, and healing together.
