When the Body Remembers — Stoning Demons Book 3 by Kimberly Callis

“The body isn’t betraying you. It’s broadcasting what your trauma has been trying to say all along.”

Kimberly Callis, Stoning Demons Book 3

In Book 3 of the Stoning Demons series, Kimberly Callis brings her signature clarity and honesty to one of the most overlooked aspects of complex PTSD: its profound effects on the body.

Stoning Demons Book 3: Physical Health Effects and Complex PTSD confronts the myth that trauma is “all in your head.” Instead, Callis shows how the long arc of childhood trauma can shape everything from immune function and chronic pain to fatigue, inflammation, and autoimmune conditions. She draws powerful connections between lived experience and scientific insight—without losing the deeply personal thread that grounds this series.

For many survivors, physical symptoms appear long before they have the language or support to understand their origin. This book offers both—language and support. It’s not a medical manual. It’s a lifeline.

Topics include:

• How chronic stress rewires the nervous system
• The toll of hypervigilance on organ systems
• Somatic symptoms of dissociation and stored trauma
• Misdiagnosis and medical gaslighting
• Paths toward reconnecting with your body without fear

If your body has been telling a story no one else seems to hear, this book will feel like recognition.
