I love to read. A lot. I also love listening to podcasts, especially when I’m traveling. Most of what I read and listen to (at least for professional purposes) is on topics like trauma, resilience and mindfulness.
My most recent read (and possibly, my favorite) was “What My Bones Know” by Stephanie Foo. It’s a memoir on the author’s history of trauma and her journey to find healing. She also incorporates a good amount of science and research into her writing. I truly believe this book is a must-read for parents, teachers or anyone who works with children in some capacity.
Since I often get asked for recommendations on books from teachers and school counselors, I decided to put together a list of some of my favorite professional books and podcasts. Much like the SEL picture book list (which you can find here), this list will be an ever-growing Google Doc. As I read and listen, I will add to it. Check it out and bookmark it so you know where to find it, and if you have suggestions of books I need to read or podcasts I need to listen to, send them my way!
