The Body Keeps Score was helpful during my healing journey from the death of an estranged parent. It doesn’t speak directly to the topic as much as it speaks to the release of internalized trauma from the body. I hope you find the book and relief you’re seeking. 💜

No books but writing and crying both helped me. Estranged or not , losing a parent is brutally painful and takes a long time to heal (if at all)

Having trouble losing weight and looking for suggestions. My standard caloric amount to maintain weight is about 2k (male/36/185lbs). Been eating at a 500 calorie deficit daily, so around 1500 calories a day, but I have very little energy to lift much weight at all when I go to the gym. Appreciate any practical recommendations, maybe eat more on days I workout? I'm just worried that having higher calories on my workout days and less when I rest could mess up my metabolism even more.
