Trauma Healing Stack
Here is a book stack on trauma and trauma healing from the depth psychology, jungian and psychoanalysis (left) perspectives and the somatic-clinical perspective (right).

There are obviously many more that could be added here but these are my favorites.

Healing Trauma edited by Marion F. Solomon and Daniel J. Siegel
“Every one of us carries a deforming mirror where we see ourselves as too small or too large, too fat or too thin... Eventually one discovers that destiny can be directed, that one does not need to remain in bondage to that first imprint made on childhood sensibilities, one need not be branded by the first pattern. Once the deforming mirror is smashed, there is the possibility of wholeness... ”
