3 Books on Childhood Trauma Let us dive into the depths of three transformational books illuminating the nuances of childhood trauma. 1. "The Myth of Normal" by Gabor Maté aims to unpick popular but accepted notions of normality, pointing out how societal roles can be conduits for the transmission of trauma in children, dispelling the rationality about understanding mental health and wellness. 2. "No Bad Parts" by Richard Schwartz introduces the reader to the model of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and offers it in a gentle and compassionate approach, explaining how there are different parts of our psyche. Schwartz illustrates how all parts within us, even the apparently bad ones, contribute to our healing process. 3. "The Body Keeps the Score" by Bessel van der Kolk. The book seems to delve into complicated relationships about trauma and body integration. The scientist blends his scientific research with personal narratives that expose how trauma actually lives in the body and the pathways toward healing found through innovative therapies. Together, the books powerfully explore childhood trauma by giving hope and strategies for recovery. Whether a mental health provider, survivor, or simply interested in how trauma affects people, these readings are crucial to comprehend healing.
I thought tea belonged in a cup. Then I found a night market in Chiang Mai serving a salad made from fermented tea leaves. The dish is called laphet thoke and comes from Myanmar, where fermented tea leaves have been eaten for centuries and traditionally shared with guests as a sign of hospitality. Next to it was banana flower salad a dish popular across Southeast Asia. The banana blossom is sliced into thin strips and mixed with herbs, lime, chili and peanuts, giving it a crunchy texture somewhere between cabbage and artichoke. Salty, bitter, sour, crunchy, floral nothing tasted the way I expected. This is what I love about night markets in Asia. Not the “top 10 foods”. The feeling that there are still things in the world you’ve never even imagined eating. 📍I’ve been collecting places like this all over Chiang Mai. The guide is almost ready follow if you want the first drop.
