I write a lot about what I know about trauma in The SPIRICAL Tarot guidebook (included with the deck) -- but here are some additional resources:

​

​

These books have really helped me to know more about trauma and how it affects us:

• Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence -- from Domestic Abuse to Political Terror, Judith Herman 

• The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self, Alice Miller

• Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma, Peter A Levine

• Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving, Pete Walker

• The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind and Body in the Healing of Trauma, Bessel van der Kolk

​

These books have taught me some great supportive tools:

• Parenting from the Inside Out, Daniel J Seigel and Mary Hartzell

• Introduction to the Internal Family Systems Model, Richard C Schwartz

• How to Do the Work, Dr Nicole LePera

​

Other resources still on my nightstand:

• Trauma and the Body: A Sensorimotor Approach to Psychotherapy, Pat Ogden

• When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress, Gabor Mate

• The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological Foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication and Self-Regulation, Stephen W Porges
