In Celebration of Library Month, I am sharing some of my favourite medical reads/listens from the library! Technically, Library Month is over…but when you love books, every month is Library Month!

What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing, By Bruce D. Perry, MD, PhD, and Oprah Winfrey
and
The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, by Bessel van der Kolk, MD

These books are both about trauma, what happens to the body after a traumatic event, and some of the treatment options being offered.

I read “The Body Keeps the Score” first. It was…a hard book to read. Fascinating, and I learned a lot, but hard. You’ll need to take breaks. I started by reading a paper copy of the book, put it down for a while (possibly a couple of years), and then finished the book by listening to the audiobook. My suggestion would be to read the paper copy, and with the expectation that you will need to step away from it frequently. I say this as a person who sometimes reads for 8-12 hours in one sitting - this is not a book you should plan to do that with.

I read “What Happened to You?” this year. It is still a hard topic to read about, but I would recommend this book as an easier introduction. I listened to the audiobook, and it is narrated by the authors, which is amazing. Some of my favourite audiobooks are ones narrated by the authors. Listening to this audiobook is part book, part conversation between Perry and Winfrey. Winfrey shares some of her lived experiences to help readers connect to what they are explaining, as well as asking questions of Perry to help clarify some concepts.

“Nobody ever shamed themselves into better mental health”

How to keep house while drowning, by KC Davis, LPC

I have a confession to make. I often choose books I read based on their titles. When I read the title ‘how to keep house while drowning’, I thought I was picking a comedy. It turns out I was picking a mental health book written by a licensed professional counselor, which happens to focus on keeping house. And it was great. She discusses how care tasks are morally neutral and should be approached as functional tasks. She makes suggestions on how to get past mental blocks, sensory issues, executive dysfunction, and lack of energy (which includes giving yourself permission to rest when everything isn’t done).

“…What's important is to have a kind inner dialogue…”

The book is available through the Camrose Public Library. The audiobook is 3 hours long and available through the Libby app (use your library membership to sign in). There are also many resources available on their website.

The Body: A Guide for Occupants, by Bill Bryson

If you are eager to deepen your understanding of the human body, this is a great book to delve into! Bryson shares the wonder of the human body, while also illuminating how little we actually know. His storytelling is entertaining and encourages you to marvel at the wonder that is the human body.

He uses accessible language that makes even the most intricate concepts digestible when describing the body - you don’t need to be a health care provider to understand what he is saying.

“The only thing special about the elements that make you is that they make you. That is the miracle of life.” This encapsulates the awe-inspiring essence of human existence in a way that will capture your imagination.

The book is available through the Camrose Public Library. The audiobook is 14 hours long and available through the Libby app.

New acupuncture history! 😮

The Marquis of Haihun was buried in 59 B.C. With thousands of artifacts, including the earliest known steel acupuncture needles. The needles have a diameter of 0.3-0.5 mm, which is comparable to modern needles (often ranging from 0.15-0.25 mm).
