Trauma:
My number one book recommendation for all things trauma is Bessel Van Der Kolk’s The Body Keeps the Score. This book changed the way I practice. Found here: https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1C9E6ZQ2IA89&keywords=the+body+keeps+the+score&qid=1582603753&sprefix=the+body+keeps%2Caps%2C209&sr=8-2
I have also heard Babette Rothschild’s The Body Remembers Vol. 1&2 are equally good. I have them but haven’t gotten to read them yet! https://www.amazon.com/Body-Remembers-Two-Book-Set/dp/0393713032/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2TGELRWJCTBJZ&keywords=babette+rothschild&qid=1582603877&sprefix=babette+ro%2Caps%2C204&sr=8-2

Books on my nightstand currently:
If you can’t tell from the picture below, I like big books and I cannot lie. Reading and learning are my jam and it is a never ending cycle for me of constant growth. Honestly it drives some people in my life crazy but there is always more to learn in my opinion!
