About this listen

You survived. Now it’s time to heal. The Wounds We Carry is a powerful and compassionate guide for anyone living in the long shadow of childhood trauma and Complex PTSD. Written by trauma survivor and healing advocate Emily Grace Carter, this book blends lived experience with research-backed practices to help you break free from the invisible burdens you've been carrying for years.

Whether you feel stuck, overwhelmed, ashamed, or exhausted, this book will meet you where you are—with empathy, honesty, and hope.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Understand the roots and symptoms of Complex PTSD
  • Calm your overactive nervous system using mindfulness and breathwork
  • Reconnect with your inner child and rebuild emotional safety
  • Set healthy boundaries and regain self-trust
  • Gently process shame, grief, anxiety, and dissociation

This is not a clinical textbook—it’s a soul-level conversation. A guide from someone who’s been there.

Healing isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you were before the world wounded you.

If you’re ready to release what no longer serves you, reclaim your voice, and build a future rooted in self-compassion, this book is your next step.

You are not broken. You are healing.

The audiobook does a great job showing how childhood experiences can shape adult patterns, especially in relationships and self-perception. I liked how the book describes survival modes and how they form, because it makes the concept feel less mysterious. The steps for calming the body are simple enough to try anytime. It’s a thoughtful guide for anyone exploring how trauma has shaped their emotional reactions.
