I’m about to be a mom in 10 days or less and I’m petrified because me and my mothers relationship is extremely problematic at the least. Can some suggest a book about breaking the trauma cycle. I don’t want my children to grow up like I did.

Ok two books for this – The Body Keeps the Score by Van der Kolk and The Myth of Normal by Maté. First is from a mental health clinician perspective and second is from an MD who also knows a ton about trauma and the mind body connection. Both are fascinating about how you got this way and both offer ways out.
