Th3rapy is a raw, unfiltered collection of poetry and personal reflections from a mind shaped by noise, trauma, and the constant pressure to be someone else. Written over years of surviving toxic family dynamics, emotional manipulation, and the quiet ache of being misunderstood, this book is a journey through the fragments of a life lived in the shadows of louder voices. These pieces explore identity loss, overstimulation, depression, and the long echo of childhood wounds.
They move between anger and vulnerability, silence and chaos, clarity and confusion - capturing the feeling of a brain that never learned peace. Through lines like "I can't find myself, I am lost inside my brain" and "My brain feels like a tornado, " the author pulls readers into a world where survival means staying quiet, staying small, and staying alert. Yet beneath the heaviness is a search for meaning, for calm, and for a version of life that doesn't hurt to live.
Th3rapy is not polished. It's not curated. It's not pretending to be okay. It's honest. It's the truth of someone who grew up unheard, who learned to write because speaking was punished, and who now uses poetry as the only safe place to exist. For readers who connect with trauma writing, confessional poetry, mental health reflections, and the quiet resilience of surviving what should have broken you - this book is for you.
