In this deeply honest and transformative memoir, Katrina Collier shares her remarkable journey from a childhood scarred by emotional and physical abuse to a life defined by healing, peace, and empowerment.
Raised by a narcissistic mother and a passive father, Katrina grew up in a home shaped by generational trauma. Enduring years of mistreatment left her battling insecurity, hypervigilance, and complex PTSD. But at the age of 40, a turning point arrived—one that launched a 12-year quest of self-discovery, spiritual exploration, and deep personal work.
The Damage of Words: A Memoir of Healing Self-Hate and Gaining Self-Mastery goes beyond a personal story. It’s a teaching memoir—a compassionate and insightful guide for anyone navigating their own healing path. With raw vulnerability and wisdom, Katrina details her experiences with therapy, past life exploration, energy healing, and spiritual practices that led to emotional regulation and self-love.
This is a book for those who feel broken, for those searching for answers, and for anyone who needs to be reminded that even the deepest wounds can be healed—and that a life of calm, clarity, and joy is possible.
