Where to Start?

[AphoticAtramentous]

I know there's hundreds of books that I could read but I just don't know where to start? I think I tried reading Pete Walker's "From Surviving to Thriving" but that was many years ago and I don't remember any of the contents. I do however remember it was a little difficult to go through. So I wondered perhaps, for those who have read all the popular recommendations, is there a best order to read them in? From like, the easiest to process/less-triggering to more in-depth/detailed/more triggering?

Am interested in books that delve into either CPTSD or OSDD/DID.
Also please no books that are religious. Books with religious trauma is fine, just not books that tell me to resolve my problems with religion. :') Thank you...

Regards,
Aphotic.

Hey Aphotic,
All I can say is, I've not read all that much on CPTSD but I did read Pete Walker's book that you mentioned and that really put me on the path to healing for sure. Maybe some of the people who've been around here for longer can help you along some more.

Hey A2, if you check out our Books section here - https://www.outofthestorm.website/books-1/, there are a few sections of books.  The first one includes top rated books and if you click on the title you can go to Amazon and read lots of reviews.

Hope this helps

I don't think I've ever read Pete Walker's book(s) from start to finish. Just dipped in all over the place and stuck with what made sense at whatever stage of my healing.
