My Grandmother's Hands: Racialized Trauma and the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies by Resmaa Menakem

challenging emotional informative slow-paced

5.0

My previous therapist recommended I read this for help conceptualizing the trauma of being Jewish. It’s not about Jewish trauma, it’s about African-American trauma, but there’s an appalling amount of overlap. It also helped unpack a lot of white guilt. Possibly the most important book I’ve read this year.
