About the book
Healing Childhood Sexual Trauma Through My Body
The body remembers what the mind forgets to survive and fit within social norms. My memoir begins in Lahore, where I learn how to disconnect from my body to endure childhood trauma. The story traces my healing journey after I move to the US, as I rewire my nervous system and land back in my body.
I write my experience of somatic healing in sensation-based language. Many books offer a clinical view of this work. I write from inside the body, for readers who are doing somatic work or curious about it.
This is a story about healing from childhood trauma. The healing expands into all areas of my life, and I start making everyday decisions that help me feel more in my body and more integrated.
