What My Bones Know by Stephanie FooEvery cell in my body is filled with the code of generations of trauma, of death, of birth, of migration, of history that I cannot understand. . . . I want to have words for what my bones know. By the age of thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: she had her dream job as an award winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning.

Every cell in my body is filled with the code of generations of trauma, of death, of birth, of migration, of history that I cannot understand. . . . I want to have words for what my bones know.

By the age of thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: she had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD - a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years.

Both of Foo's parents abandoned her when she was a teenager, after years of physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she'd moved on, but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to threaten her health, relationships, and career. She found limited resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD.

In this deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. She returns to her hometown in California to investigate the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she discovers that you don't move on from trauma - but you can learn to move with it.

Powerful, enlightening and hopeful, What My Bones Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body - and examines one woman's ability to reclaim agency from her trauma.

So far I like it
I bought this combo because I have used the ordinary before and liked the results. So far I’m not a fan of the lotion, feels a bit too thick for my liking. But other 2 products so far are making my skin look brighter and hydrated. I didn’t break out at first with the oil because I’m sensitive to too much oil but my skin adjusted to it. Definitely value for your money.

30+ years of daily rosacea symptoms (cheeks, raccoon eyes, hot flashes, occasional small bumps)
Had an immediate and significant positive effect on my facial rosacea. Symptoms have reduced by approximately 80% over the course of a month or so, greatly reduced the frequency of uncomfortable social situations and associated ruminations. Excellent value for money as well, but if you have facial hair you will end up using a little extra every wash. Sulfur based products reduce my rosacea, but cause an excessive amount of exfoliation on my face several hours after washing. Azelaic acid did not seem to aggravate my skin in that way. It's probably worth trying this one first, I was prepared to seek medical intervention to stop this.

So far, so good!
Love the texture and it seems to calm my sensitive skin! I definitely recommend following the suggestion to let the product sit on your skin for 30-60 seconds, I think it really helps boost the effectiveness
