Tina’s Memoir

Unbroken: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Reclaiming Me is a memoir and healing guide that explores what happens after leaving abuse—when physical freedom comes first, but the nervous system is still learning that it is safe.

Rather than focusing on how to leave a narcissistic relationship, Unbroken addresses the quieter, more complicated aftermath: the patterns that predate the relationship, the grief that follows clarity, and the long process of reclaiming identity after years of emotional erosion.

This book is written for survivors who know their story did not begin—or end—with one relationship, and for the people who want to better understand how trauma lives on long after danger has passed.
