Description
by Amy Sosne MD M. Ed (Author), Janice Harper (With), Jacob M. Appel MD Jd Mph (Foreword by)
"A nuanced reflection on motherhood as well as an impassioned defense of reproductive rights, the book highlights the ways that traumas compound across time and circumstances... A formidable rumination on the impact of childhood trauma into adulthood.' -Kirkus Reviews
When life shatters everything you thought you knew, healing becomes the only path forward. In A World Turned Upside Down: A Memoir of Healing, physician and psychiatrist Amy Sosne shares a deeply personal and courageous story of trauma, resilience, and transformation. Once a high-achieving doctor dedicated to helping others, Sosne suddenly finds herself confronting the hidden wounds of childhood sexual abuse after a triggering experience during an on-call hospital shift. What follows is a powerful memoir of survival as she navigates a devastating mental health crisis, the overwhelming realities of infertility, and the unimaginable loss of a tragic pregnancy.
Blending medical insight with raw emotional honesty, this trauma recovery memoir reveals how unresolved childhood trauma can shape adulthood, relationships, and identity. Sosne chronicles her journey through Complex PTSD, grief, infertility struggles, and profound personal loss, offering readers a rare glimpse into the intersection of medicine, psychology, and lived experience. Through mindfulness, self-reflection, and compassionate healing practices, she gradually rebuilds her sense of self transforming pain into resilience and purpose.
More than a memoir, A World Turned Upside Down: A Memoir of Healing is an inspiring story of courage and recovery that speaks to survivors, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking hope after trauma. Sosne ultimately emerges as a devoted mother, educator, and advocate for mental health awareness, women's rights, trauma healing, and mindfulness-based resilience reminding readers that even when life turns upside down, healing and growth remain possible.
