You weren't crazy. You weren't broken.
They just needed you to believe that so they could control you.
Stripped Down: Piece by Fcking Piece* isn't another self-help book that tells you to heal quietly or forgive your abuser. It's a raw, unapologetic journey through the wreckage of trauma-narcissistic abuse, manipulation, betrayal, toxic relationships, fake friends-and the fire it takes to rise from it.
This book is for the survivors who lost themselves in places they were supposed to feel safe-relationships, families, workplaces, and friendships. It won't shame your anger, silence your story, or sugarcoat your healing.
Lindsay-Michele Ziegenbalg tells the truth that so many are afraid to say out loud. She speaks for every survivor who was silenced, doubted, gaslit, or told to "just move on."
If you've ever questioned your worth, second-guessed your voice, or wondered if healing would ever be possible-this is your reminder:
You weren't too much.
You were never the problem.
And you sure as hell weren't meant to stay quiet.
Stripped Down: Piece by Fcking Piece* is both a memoir and a lifeline-a powerful account of trauma, survival, grief, rage, and finally, reclamation.
