Come As You Are: The surprising new science that will transform your sex life
If you are a woman/vagina owner who is facing challenges with sex or asking yourself “is this normal?”, this book may be your key to a healthier sexual relationship with yourself and others. Personally, this book was pivotal in my sexual healing journey. As a victim and survivor of sexualized violence, I had an overwhelming sense of feeling sexually broken, pressured, and isolated. Emily’s words and real stories gave me the gift of self-compassion and an understanding for why I was doing and being a certain way. Her practical suggestions were incredibly helpful. Plus she’s very real and funny. If you have a partner, listen to the audiobook with them! (*errs on the heteronormative side).

When The Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress
This was the first book I discovered on my journey when taking my health into my own hands. I related to so much of this book, shedding many tears of relief and a few of sorrow. A must-read for anyone with chronic pain or illness.
How To Be Sick: A Buddhist-inspired guide for the chronically ill and their caregivers.
Toni Bernhard
This is a book for people who will not be their old self again and for all those whom, at least for now, getting better isn’t possible. This is a book that most reassuringly says even to those people, “You, too, are going to be okay – even if you never recover your health!”
