Hello @Abz, thank you SO much for these suggestions. Do you have a favourite from these lists? I have been slowly reading through 'No Bad Parts' by Richard C. Schwartz, but I recently listened to 'Spiritually Sassy' by Sah D'Simone, which was super insightful around somatic healing.
Thank you for the conversation starter! 💛✨
