I Can’t Believe I Dated Him by Jackie Viramontez

Disclaimer: These books helped me to realize my own worth, but I haven’t read some of them in years. I first discovered FDS in March, and I am still learning. I cannot say with absolute certainty if all the books on this list fit into the FDS standards, because I am still unlearning the wrong information and learning the right mindset.

I really loved “Why men love bitches” by Sherry Argov and “Fuck him” by Brian Nox. Contrary to the titles it’s not only about men and dating, it’s also about leveling up and knowing your own worth.

See what you made me do, by Jess Hill

Edit: shes also got a new podcast The Trap. It might be hard going for some due to the Aussie accents but worth the listen, Jess delves into coercive control, how it starts what to look out for etc... https://www.vwt.org.au/thetrap/

Complex PTSD - from Surviving to Thriving - by Pete Walker (Even if you don't have CPTSD, this has useful insights into behaviour & defences/responses to abuse such as the 4Fs etc) His website has good info too http://www.pete-walker.com/fourFs_TraumaTypologyComplexPTSD.htm

When Men Behave Badly: The Hidden Roots of Sexual Deception, Harassment, and Assault - by David Buss PhD - I've only just started this last one but it's interesting so far

These are mostly about trauma & recognising/avoiding abusers but on a lighter note: The Power of the Pussy by Kara King. Read this ages ago but the general idea is to remember our inherent power as women, to focus on our own lives and to take out the 'trash' (LVM)

Well, I can tell you NOT to read "why men always forget and women always remember". Definitely don't read if you don't want to be foaming in anger.

Edit: 101 lies men tell women is good
