À propos de cet audio
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER •
A searing memoir of reckoning and healing by acclaimed journalist Stephanie Foo, investigating the little-understood science behind complex PTSD and how it has shaped her life
“Achingly exquisite . . . providing real hope for those who long to heal.”—Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, NPR, Mashable, She Reads, Publishers Weekly
By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: She had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD—a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years.
Both of Foo’s parents abandoned her when she was a teenager, after years of physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she’d moved on, but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to threaten her health, relationships, and career. She found limited resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD.
In this deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. She returns to her hometown of San Jose, California, to investigate the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she discovers that you don’t move on from trauma—but you can learn to move with it.
Powerful, enlightening, and hopeful, What My Bones Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body—and examines one woman’s ability to reclaim agency from her trauma.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Absorbing . . . a reckoning, and Foo approaches it with candor and rigor . . . profoundly affecting.”—The New York Times
“Foo’s happy ending is nothing short of deliverance—rich and joyful and full of care the child was denied. . . . Possibility still glows around the edges of her sight.”—USA Today
“An unflinching reminder of the hidden struggles many face, told with the keen eye of a researcher and the brutality of a documentarian.”—NPR

Wildly Relatable!
Going into this reading I didn’t think it would be relevant to me on any personal level. I was so wrong! Even without a history of abuse or PTSD, the journey of healing and searching for appropriate supports and counsellors, while often feeling like you’re one step forward and two steps back was spot on. Stephanie is so open about her journey and it’s a great reminder that you’re not alone.

So real!
Stephanie's story is captivating and honest. As a CPTSD survivor myself, I want everybody I know to read this book. It made me feel seen - even though the nature of my trauma is different from hers, our journeys have so much overlap. She has articulated the nature of recovery beautifully.

Pages of notes and a sea of tears
This books changed the way I look at my abuse, who I am and how I receive and treat those around me. I’ve never cried so much listening to a book. It made so much about my life and behaviour click and make sense. Stephanie does an excellent job narrating. Hard recommend.

Amazing
I sobbed with feeling fully seen and understood. Stephanie Foo’s experience with cptsd helped me to better understand myself, to give myself permission to not be perfect, and gave me hope.

Deeply moving
I too have CPTSD and cannot put into words how amazing, articulate, and well-rounded this novel was! I’ve known about my own CPTSD for at least 15 years and have have done a lot of work. This book shed knowledge on areas that I wouldn’t have thought of, and has helped me grow and learn even more. Thank you so much Stephanie, so well done!I’m so grateful you were brave enough to share your journey.

Such a good read for CPTSD
I took away so many great tools from her incredibly raw and vulnerable life and how she became who she is today. Inter generational trauma was covered very well which needs to be talked about on a regular basis. A must read for anyone.
