When journalist and author Stephanie Foo was diagnosed with Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), she left her job and devoted herself to healing—a journey she chronicled in her bestselling memoir, What My Bones Know. Now, as a mother, she's navigating what it means to parent with complex trauma, balancing the high-alert nervous system that comes with C-PTSD while trying to stay present for her child.   In this powerful conversation, Stephanie shares:   - The difference between PTSD and C-PTSD—and why relational healing is essential for many forms of trauma.   - How motherhood reshapes the brain and why it can trigger fight-or-flight responses.   - The unique challenges of rupture and repair with a child versus an adult.   - Why parents with complex trauma may struggle with isolation and finding a supportive community can be so helpful.   - The strategies that have helped Stephanie most, all of which are useful for any parent, with or without trauma.   If you've ever felt like parenting is unearthing deep, unresolved parts of yourself, this episode offers both insight and hope.     LEARN MORE ABOUT STEPHANIE: https://www.stephaniefoo.me/   READ STEPHANIE'S BOOK:

Then, they jump into the first half of Stephanie Foo's memoir about CPTSD and healing, "What My Bones Know," where they share their thoughts on talk therapy, this country's mental healthcare system, and sweater vests. Also, they touch on the idea of healing being a full-time job, and what it looks like choosing your mental health over a steady paycheck.

In this episode of "Enneagram and Coffee," I reflect on "What My Bones Know," a book about trauma and CPTSD. I share my initial hesitation about the book, my views on the permanence of trauma, and the importance of recognizing the effects of generational trauma. I discuss the nuances between CPTSD and PTSD triggers, the role of compassion, and the usefulness of mindfulness in managing responses. I appreciate the book's realistic portrayal of healing as an ongoing process of gaining strength and vulnerability rather than a complete cure. I recommend the book to those dealing with childhood trauma and to those who love someone dealing with childhood trauma. -- Notion Templates here - www.sarajanecase.com/shop  Call/text your enneagram questions to (828) 338-9127 Grab a copy of my books at www.thehonestenneagram.com & www.theenneagramletters.com Check out my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/sarajanecase Learn more about your ad choices.

In one of the most interesting conversations we've ever had on the podcast, Forrest is joined by clinical psychologist Dr. Jacob Ham to explore what really helps people work with - and be with - trauma. They begin with Dr. Ham's background and what drew him to trauma work before Forrest asks him how he "conceptualizes" different kinds of traumatic experiences. Dr. Ham then takes them away from the conceptual, and toward the felt. They talk about cultivating a felt sense of connection, empathy as a way in to relationship, and the value of anger. Dr. Ham shares about his own process taking risks as a clinician, using parts work, moving away from the "false idol" of cognizing, and finding a unique way in for each individual.About our Guest: Dr. Jacob Ham is a clinical psychologist, Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai, and the Director of the Center for Complex Trauma.

When Stephanie Foo turned 30, she learned she had complex PTSD. Her efforts to heal from an abusive childhood and intergenerational trauma drove her to write What My Bones Know, a book that combines memoir with the rigorous reporting she'd honed as a journalist.Stephanie talks with producer Justine Yan about the initial shame upon hearing her diagnosis, lessons she learned when she went home to San Jose, California, and the fierce love she's practicing as she expects her first child.

Sometimes, bad things happen (obvi, right?). Many times, we know what's happening to us in the moment is awful and wrong. We know that it's painful. But sometimes, we don't know how bad those things were until that pain shows up again in our lives, maybe years later, in a completely different way. And when these seemingly bad things come up, our lives are thrown into a tailspin—creating chaos and unhappiness and we're not even even sure why. So how do we begin to identify the source of the darkness? How do we walk toward healing when the muck of our trauma is so deep we feel like we can't move forward? Our guest this week has navigated through this very thing (and is still navigating it). The chaotic parts, the hard parts, the painful parts. Author and This American Life producer Stephanie Foo had found success in her thirties–working at her dream job and in a loving relationship. But behind her office door she was having panic attacks daily and sobbing at her desk. After years of questioning what was wrong (and blaming herself), she was diagnosed with complex PTSD–a condition that happens when trauma occurs again and again over many years. She was determined to understand this diagnosis, and the result of her findings is a beautiful and powerful memoir called What My Bones Know.  Jen and Stephanie have an illuminating discussion around these topics:  The difference between PTSD and complex PTSD and why that's an important distinction when it comes to healing How an unresolved mental health issue can impact our physical health, which can manifest (as it did for Stephanie) in panic attacks, joint issues, migraines, and endometriosis.  How our traumas can be handed down through previous generations through our genes, but also through how we were (or weren't) nurtured.  What it feels like to pull back the curtain on our coping mechanisms to reveal why we react to things the way we do, or why we put up walls in safe places with safe people  Join us for this very real, raw, but gentle conversation as Stephanie's story sheds light on how to walk away from chaos into healing.  * * * Thank you to our sponsors!

So if you're in a car crash, you can get PTSD. Complex PTSD is kind of like if you were in that car crash every week for five years; it's when the trauma occurs over and over and over.” - Stephanie Foo “I felt scared all the time and I was burning out at work. I felt unable to actually produce. It was around 2018, and work had always been my constant source of comfort. And no matter how depressed or anxious I was, I would always be able to be productive.  So when I found myself struggling to do that, I felt sort of lost.” - Stephanie Foo “I may have inherited my grandmother's desire and ability to hustle and that might be in my genes. It might be through nurture as well, not nature, and what I was taught as a child. It's kind of a mystery, but it certainly would explain a lot.” - Stephanie Foo   Guest's Links: Stephanie's Website Stepanie's Instagram   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Complex PTSD Malayan Emergency Road to Resilience Podcast  Elissa Bassist What My Bones Know - book by Stephanie Foo What My Bones Know Audiobook   Connect with Jen!

We're on break, creating all new episodes for season 3. In the meantime, here's one of our favorite episodes from the past year. See you soon.   If you've lived through horrific trauma or abuse, is it really fair of us to say that the ways you've learned to cope are “bad,” or to use clinical speak, “maladaptive”? This week on Here After, Stephanie Foo, author of What My Bones Know, joins me to talk about complex PTSD and the ways we pathologize human responses to trauma. You'll also hear how claiming your own messy, complex coping mechanisms can help you build a community that sees you and loves you.    If you're haunted by any type of trauma, or know someone who is, this conversation is a great introduction to complex PTSD, and the work of survivorship.  In this episode we cover:  Why pretending to be a high-performing badass is maybe not in your best interest How storytelling can make you feel less freakish and alone The real problem with most books on trauma and C-PTSD   Click here for the episode webpage. Notable quotes:  “People are like, oh, you're so brave to have shared your story. And I was like, I burned down my whole life. There was nothing to lose anymore, so there was nothing to be brave about.” - Stephanie Foo About our guest:    Stephanie Foo is a C-PTSD survivor, writer, and radio producer, most recently for This American Life.

Reset sits down with author Stephanie Foo to discuss her memoir What My Bones Know. The book details Foo's struggle with Complex PTSD, a little understood disorder. She explores her childhood trauma, the impact of C-PTSD on her life and others, and how she found recovery.

Our fears for the future of this planet are part of an interwoven story of grief and hope. While it's easy to feel overwhelmed and defeated, author Stephanie Foo (What My Bones Know) has found one small consistent act that grounds her, and gives her a hope for the world: she volunteers with the urban parks system. If your climate anxiety has felt too big to tackle, don't miss this short bonus episode - you might just find a doorway to your own place in the woods.  In this episode we cover:  The difference between “good immigrant” plants and “bad immigrant” plants, and how that relates to the climate emergency How being a park steward has given Stephanie hope for the future AND a budding community (ok, pun intended) What trees teach us about weathering trauma Notable quotes:  “My action is relatively small, but I think it's really important. I kill plants.” - Stephanie Foo   About our guest:    Stephanie Foo is a C-PTSD survivor, writer, and radio producer, most recently for This American Life.

May marks Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month. To mark the importance of this month and how it intersects our work at the ACLU, we are bringing you this conversation with Malaysian American award-winning writer and audio producer, Stephanie Foo. Stephanie is the author of the new book, What My Bones Know, a memoir about intergenerational trauma and complex post-traumatic stress disorder, or c-PTSD. In the book, Stephanie details her path of healing from the physical and emotional abuse she endured from both of her parents and explores the kind of trauma that she says had a widespread impact on her immigrant community growing up. She joins us to discuss how learning her ancestors' history and the history of her community helped her reconcile her individual struggles.

If you listen to the radio, you have almost certainly encountered Stephanie Foo's work. After graduating from UC Santa Cruz in just 3 years, she joined the staff of Snap Judgment, first as an intern and then as a full-time producer, before she moved to New York to work on This American Life. But Stephanie's numerous accomplishments and accolades hid an intense internal struggle that ultimately led her to leave her dream job: in 2018, she was diagnosed with C-PTSD. In March 2022, she published What My Bones Know – a memoir that chronicles her journey to understand and heal from C-PTSD following her diagnosis. It is a powerful and deeply personal story that sheds light on an under-researched, poorly understood, and oft-stigmatized illness, and it is the subject of this month's conversation. Special Guest: Stephanie Foo.

Public radio journalist Stephanie Foo's latest story is her own. She talks about her diagnosis of complex post-traumatic stress disorder from an abusive childhood and her new memoir, “What My Bones Know."

Stephanie Foo thought she had it all. She was in a happy relationship, and was working as a radio producer for This American Life. However, for years she would have uncontrollable panic attacks in the office and cry at her desk, trauma that was rooted in the moment when Foo's parents abandoned her while she was a teenager. After trying to figure out what was wrong, Foo eventually became one of the first ever to be diagnosed with C-PTSD, or complex PTSD, in 2018. After her diagnosis, Foo spent years researching her condition, and the result is a new memoir called, What My Bones Know, featuring a first-person account of her struggles with C-PTSD and interviews with experts in trauma recovery. She joins us to discuss the book.
