*baps you off the table* :3

You just want to see me struggle.. ;.; it's not fair anymore.. what's the point of this??!?!

Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World by Jenn Granneman
-- More recent book that really, really opened my eyes to myself. I'm serious when I say I feel this book was written about me, it describes me to a T.

Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life by Dr. Susan Forward
-- This one got me through a really rough time in my life and got me to set boundaries that I have never regretted. It was monumentally important for my life.

The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk
-- Very difficult to read, emotionally. Triggering. I had to put it down a lot. But it is incredibly informative and has helped me to understand what goes on in the body with trauma.

Here's a video summary that I highly recommend! Honestly, everyone would benefit from cursory level knowledge around the biology of fight/flight/freeze/fawn, even if you don't have any trauma.
