A few books that our clinicians return to often. This is not a required reading list — therapy doesn't come with homework unless you and your clinician decide it makes sense. Think of these as starting points.

On trauma and the body

  • The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk
  • Waking the Tiger — Peter A. Levine
  • My Grandmother's Hands — Resmaa Menakem

On attention, mindfulness, and being present

  • Full Catastrophe Living — Jon Kabat-Zinn
  • The Art of Living — Thich Nhat Hanh

On self-compassion and being human

  • Self-Compassion — Kristin Neff
  • The Gifts of Imperfection — Brené Brown

On psychedelic experience

  • How to Change Your Mind — Michael Pollan

We'll add to this list over time as our own reading shifts and grows.
