Description

This book isn’t about abuse. It’s about untethering. It’s about the disconnect.When leaving isn’t enough, when staying in your own body feels unsafe. This book is the grab-what-you-can-carry-and-run. It’s all that we can’t hold, and all that we can’t carry. This book is about all that gets left behind.Most of all, this book is about healing. This book is written from the body. It’s about writing your way back together again.This book is for anyone who ever got kicked out of their own body. Be that through sexual abuse, violence, trauma, illness, hospitalisation, sexuality, supressed sexuality, gender dysphoria, body dysmorphia, addiction, substance abuse... it’s time we all went home.
