Stephanie Foo, an active journalist and podcast producer, is a Chinese Malaysian who grew up in an immigrant family. From an early age, she suffered severe domestic violence and abuse at the hands of her parents. Struggling with the overwhelming effects of the childhood trauma she had tried to ignore, she was eventually diagnosed with complex PTSD, which marked the beginning of her earnest journey toward healing.
Stephanie’s journey is long, intense, and relentless. She continually searches for a path forward. Though often confused and exhausted along the road to recovery, she refuses to give up. This book boldly yet delicately portrays her battle with the “monster” of complex PTSD, sharing in full detail everything from therapeutic approaches to managing inner wounds, to academic research, explorations of personal and collective history, interviews and testimonies from various individuals, and even meticulous analyses of her own therapy records.
