Where Wounds Live: A Collection of Articles in the Aftermath of Trauma

Where Wounds Live is a ground breaking collection of articles that takes you deep into the landscape of trauma — not to dwell there, but to find the way through.
Drawing on her background as a nurse, midwife, and trauma practitioner, Dr. Sam Mishra (hc) brings both clinical precision and hard-won personal experience to some of the most pressing and rarely spoken-about challenges of our time. From the long shadow of narcissistic abuse and the silenced reality of male sexual assault, to addiction, body image, grief, generational trauma, and the quiet revolution of somatic healing — this book leaves no wound unexamined.
Spanning 67 articles across ten powerful themes, Where Wounds Live refuses to simplify what is complex or sanitise what is painful. Instead, it offers something rarer: honest, compassionate, and deeply human understanding. Whether you are navigating your own recovery, supporting someone who is, or working on the frontline of trauma care, these pages will challenge what you think you know — and illuminate what you may never have considered.
This is not just a book about surviving trauma. It is a guide to understanding where it lives inside us, and what it takes to truly come home to ourselves.
