After What Happened to You?
The Myth of Normal by Gabor Maté
If What Happened to You? made you realize trauma isn't your fault, this is the book that shows you the whole system is rigged against healing—and how to reclaim your power anyway. Gabor Maté combines neuroscience with raw cultural truth-telling, validating your experience while dismantling the myth that you're broken. It's the compassionate, evidence-based follow-up that refuses to pathologize you for surviving a toxic world.
