I am thrilled to announce here that I have officially published my first book!
The Journey Back to Self: A Beginner’s Guide to Recovery from Cultic & Narcissistic Abuse is available in print and ebook on a variety of platforms.
You can find it here:
At the heart of this work lies a simple wish: to offer myself, three years ago, a booklet filled with the tips, tools and encouragement I so desperately needed when I first broke free from a lifetime of coercive control. My intention in creating this book was to make it easy to digest and approachable, a distilled compilation of the lessons I have learned and the tools I have acquired during my first three years of recovery. This book is crafted to accelerate the healing process for anyone navigating those same uncertain steps in the early days of trauma recovery.
I’ve poured myself into this project over the past year and half, as time and circumstances would allow. It has been my primary focus since the start of 2025 and it still has not sunk in that the work is done. I am so happy to be able to share it with you all here, at last.
I will be taking a much needed break from book writing now, but let me assure you of this: There is more to come. While this book contains stories from my own experiences to provide context to the lessons I have learned, it is by no means a memoir. There is much more to say and much more to tell. Stay tuned…
