Publisher Description: "The Wounded Healer "- A memoir of Priya Saklani, details a compelling and ferocious insight into a mind and life of a victim of complex trauma, demonstrating just how childhood affects every aspect of your life.
Throughout her childhood, Priya Saklani had only one friend 'FEAR, ' which was constant. She can't recollect the time when she felt needed. She completely lacked the knowledge or understanding of what human affection meant because the only reason why people touched her was to abuse her. Longing for affection, Priya felt nothing more than an object who was being passed on from one man to another. There was more to her than her body. "This heart-wrenching memoir explores some of the most contentious and systematically evaded problems plaguing society. Home - the supposed receptacle of warmth, comfort, and security - has all too often been among the foremost spaces of a woman's agony. Domestic violence and sexual abuse are daunting impediments in the way of people discovering their sense of identity and self-worth. The Wounded Healer is an essential read that disambiguates the many layers and forms of abuse one can suffer, as a girl and as a woman. Priya Saklani poignantly charts the passage of her struggle against such odds toward becoming a healer for sufferers of a similar plight." |
