When Trauma is Your Author: The Price Your Relationships Pay and How to Reclaim Your Story

You didn’t choose trauma, but if you don’t face it, it will keep choosing you.

Unresolved trauma isn’t just emotional—it infiltrates your relationships, your intimacy, your career, and your sense of self. It shapes how you love, communicate, and connect. It convinces you that you must earn love, that boundaries are rejection, and that success requires overworking and proving your worth. It traps you in cycles of toxic relationships, self-sabotage, burnout, emotional disconnection, and unspoken wounds from childhood.

But here’s the truth: your story doesn’t have to end the way it began.

In this book, licensed therapist and relationship expert, Nikquan Lewis, LMFT, LPC, ST, reveals how unhealed wounds—including childhood trauma, emotional neglect, and sexual trauma—keep you stuck, and how to take the pen back. Through real talk, raw truths, and her transformative H.E.A.L. framework, she equips you with the tools to reconnect with your inner child, rewrite your relationships, reclaim your confidence, and experience the intimacy, fulfillment, and emotional freedom you deserve.

If you’re tired of your past running the show...
If your relationships, career, parenting, and emotional health continue to pay the price...
If you’re ready to break the cycle once and for all…

This book is your breakthrough.

It’s time to take the pen back and reclaim your story.
