When You Give Everything All At Once

When You Give Everything All at Once by Prachi Saxena combines memoir, psychology and practical self-help to examine unhealthy relationship patterns, childhood emotional wounds and self-worth. Drawing on her lived experiences and more than two decades of professional expertise as a trauma therapist, Saxena offers guidance for women seeking to understand how early experiences can influence adult relationships and begin building healthier connections.

Beginning with the question, “If it was so bad, why didn't you leave sooner?”, the author reflects on an emotionally abusive marriage and a childhood shaped by neglect and emotional abuse. Her experiences provide the foundation for examining how beliefs about love, acceptance and personal worth can affect later choices and relationships.
