Stephanie Foo built a successful career, won awards, and seemed to have escaped the chaos of her childhood. But beneath the surface, anxiety, anger, and a constant sense of dread followed her everywhere.
In What My Bones Know, Foo recounts the moment she was diagnosed with Complex PTSD—and the deeply personal journey that followed. Searching for answers, she explores childhood abuse, intergenerational trauma, neuroscience, cultural silence, and a wide range of therapies. Along the way, she begins to understand that many of the traits she once saw as flaws were actually survival responses shaped by years of fear.
Her path to healing is neither simple nor complete. Instead, Foo discovers that recovery can mean learning to accept difficult emotions, build healthier relationships, and offer herself the compassion she was denied as a child.
Read the Instaread summary of What My Bones Know to discover a powerful story about trauma, resilience, and learning how to feel whole.
