Second "The Body Keeps The Score" book! Not only it helped to think about my own past and current behaviors, but also grew loads of empathy towards other people - realizing how much shit some of us go through during their lives.

Third the "Body Keeps the Score". The concept of left hand writing, and speaking to your inner child is fascinating (and was coined by the author)

Janina Fisher extends the concept of plurality focused communication in her book really well too, which is a modified version of IFS tweaked with empirical evidence over the years. TBKTS is really good but the anecdotes can be retraumatizing for many, so I just recommend "Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors" as a good starter.

Works always from PTSD through DID, which is a great range! :D
