Hey friends!

For February on The Therapist’s Bookshelf, we read How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis — a compassionate, trauma-informed take on cleaning, organizing, and care tasks.

On the surface, this book is about keeping house. But underneath that, it’s about shame, expectations, and the invisible standards we carry about what our homes — and our lives — “should” look like.

In this episode, I share:

  • Why the format of this book works so well for neurodivergent readers
  • What stood out to me about the shame lens woven throughout
  • How trauma-informed principles change the way we approach care tasks
  • Who this book is most helpful for (and why)

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “failing” at keeping up with your space — or you’ve struggled to implement organizing systems that just don’t stick — this conversation is for you.

For March, we’ll be reading Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, a powerful reflection on survival, suffering, and purpose.

 Pull up a chair. Let’s sit with this — and read it together. 

Let's Sit With This is hosted by Kristen Callaway, LMFT — a licensed therapist in Edmond, OK.
