Miswired, Not BrokenHow Trauma Shaped My Mind-and How Healing Changed ItWhy do I still panic when nothing is wrong?Why do I overthink simple conversations, expect the worst, apologize for everything, or struggle to trust peace when it finally arrives?For many people who have lived through trauma, the danger may be gone-but the mind and body are still responding to alarms that no longer belong to the present.In Miswired, Not Broken, Ruth Carroll shares her deeply personal journey of learning to live beyond survival mode after years of abuse.
