What My Bones Know
Synopsis
What My Bones Know follows Stephanie Foo's diagnosis with complex PTSD, a condition rooted in repeated childhood trauma rather than a single event, and her search for treatment that works. Foo, a radio producer, combines her own story with interviews with researchers and therapists to explain what C-PTSD does to the body and brain, and to examine how the "model minority" stereotype kept trauma like hers hidden in her own immigrant family and community.
