At some point, life challenges us with trauma that cuts deeply into our existence, reshaping our sense of self. Nikki's life, once ordinary and content as a single mother and a professional working with prisoners, takes an unexpected turn. Violence in the confines of a maximum-security prison leaves her navigating the obstacles of Complex PTSD. With candid vulnerability, Nikki invites reader into her world of triggers, flashbacks, and dissociation, along with lingering fears that many find incomprehensible.

This book isn't a clinical guide, it is a heartfelt sharing from one soul to another. It's about understanding how trauma impacts our mind, body and soul; but most importantly it's about learning how to approach healing with compassion rather than harsh self-judgement.
