Here are some resources that I have found especially useful in growing my understanding of how we develop and where things can go astray. The ideas presented in these resources are also the foundation from which I approach this work -

• How trauma and chronic stress affect our nervous system and how those impact our health and well-being.

• How events early in life affect our brain and development through the lifespan

• Dr Gabor Maté and the linkages between trauma and illness in our current culture

• A deep dive on Huberman Lab into medical research on psychedelics with the delightful and brilliant Johns Hopkins professor Dr Matthew Johnson

• A brilliant podcast dedicated to the exploration and communication of somatic relational trauma-informed practices woven with psychedelic medicines
