{"product_id":"the-betrayal-of-sanity","title":"The Betrayal of Sanity","description":"A Memoir of Trauma Resilience The Betrayal of Sanity opens with two impossible truths. I was born dead. Years later, I was almost murdered and left on a river bank to die. And yet, I lived. At birth, I was sealed in a body bag and sent to the morgue. Fifteen years later, weeks after beginning college on an art scholarship, I was bludgeoned, raped, and abandoned in a river. For two and a half days I lay exposed to the elements, slipping in and out of consciousness while the world carried on. Death came twice. Twice, I stayed. Survival of this magnitude forces a question - why? I came to understand my life was not random. Something within me refused to let my story end. I was denied legal recourse and reduced to silence. No institution could restore my well-being. I stood at a crossroads. In a culture that equates justice with punishment, choosing healing can look like betrayal-or insanity. Yet I chose healing. The Betrayal of Sanity traces decades as trauma lived on in my entire being. As a mental health nurse, I witnessed lives shaped by unprocessed pain. The body remembers what the mind tries to bury. Absence of visible scars does not mean a wound has healed. I refused to simply manage symptoms. This memoir offers lived testimony-blending intimate storytelling with grounded spiritual insight and trauma-informed reflection, translating esoteric concepts into lived practice. It is written for those who have endured profound trauma and are searching for meaning. I did not just survive a nightmare, I dismantled its hold on me. You are not beyond repair. I am living proof.","brand":"Balboa Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50021775245562,"sku":"9798765270813","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1253\/1962\/files\/imageloader_3a361c3b-307b-4d0d-a193-4065b65180ce.jpg?v=1786139224","url":"https:\/\/mindsourcebooks.com\/products\/the-betrayal-of-sanity","provider":"Mind Source Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
