About this listen

The book is a raw, non-linear memoir recounting personal experiences of trauma, abuse, and survival. It details how these events shaped the author’s hypervigilance, emotional struggles, and eventual physical collapse. It explores adaptation, survival instincts, and the ongoing challenge of “staying” present, offering no neat resolution but a commitment to truth.
