Dr. Sunita Merriman Tells Her Fight to Healing in New Poetry Book  ImageDr. Sunita Merriman marks her publishing debut with the release of “Stripping: My Fight to Find Me” (published by Balboa Press), a poetry collection that depicts a story about the human spirit, people’s need for connection and the infinite power of love to heal.

Through Merriman’s experiences, “Stripping: My Fight to Find Me” shares the damage that childhood trauma causes to the brain, its profound impact on how one experiences the world and how it can be overcome by treatment. Each poetic piece will challenge readers to examine their own feelings and find inspiration to seek help and ultimately triumph over darkness.

“Stripping: My Fight to Find Me” tells a story that resonates with many people, especially its exploration of mental health and overall wellbeing. Moreover, it tells the story of trauma from a child’s perspective through the voice of the unconscious.

Merriman offers readers key truths of human existence that she experienced firsthand through her fight to healing: “Everything we need is within us. We just need to search inwards. We may be broken but we are not victims. Self-love, self-acceptance and self-compassion is something we all struggle with but it is the only way to realize our truth and live free, peacefully and with joy. We are wired for connection with others. It is the fundamental truth of our existence. Love is not everything – it is the only thing in this universe.”
