Please post here to nominate books for September book of the month. Must have at least 500 ratings and be remotely related to trauma and/or dissociation. Can be scholarly, shoot from the hip opinion, non-fiction, fiction (maybe), memoir, etc.

CatherineAda Campbell | 37 comments I haven't read Fisher's book yet - looks interesting. I finished reading Ginger Zyskowski's memoir Shattered, but I don't know if it has 500 ratings.

That has 2 ratings. It is nearly September already, so I'm doing 1 day poll so we have a book for September 1.
