About the book
Healing Childhood Sexual Trauma Through My Body
The body remembers what the mind works hard to leave behind. This memoir begins in Lahore, where a boy learns how to disappear from himself in order to survive. It follows that fracture across continents, into adulthood, and toward the long, exacting work of becoming fully present again.
Told through a somatic lens, the book traces what trauma feels like from the inside and what healing asks of a body that has lived for years in vigilance, distance, and adaptation. Breath returns. Sensation returns. Choice returns. What once felt frozen begins to move.
This is a story about surviving childhood sexual trauma, reclaiming dignity, and finding a grounded way to live from the body rather than outside it.
