“Where Wounds Live is not just a collection of articles, it is a deeply compassionate guide through the often unspoken realities of trauma and recovery. Dr. Sam Mishra brings together clinical insight, lived experience, and courageous honesty to illuminate the hidden ways trauma shapes our lives, relationships, and sense of self. In a world where trauma is often misunderstood or minimized, this book stands as both a mirror and a map. It helps readers recognize their own stories while offering language, frameworks, and hope for healing.

Where Wounds Live is more than a book, it is a resource, a companion, and for many, a turning point.”

— Heidi Richards Mooney - Publisher, WE Magazine for Women | Author, The Expectant Author Series

“In Where Wounds Live, Dr. Sam Mishra (h.c.) delivers a profound and symphonic exploration of the human spirit’s capacity to endure and rebuild after the devastating impact of trauma. This collection of 67 articles is far from a standard clinical manual; instead, it serves as a deeply personal homecoming for the wounded healer and anyone navigating the aftermath of abuse, loss, or systemic failure. Drawing from her own lived experience—including the heart-wrenching loss of her children and her personal journey through domestic abuse - Dr. Mishra bridges the gap between medical science and holistic healing with rare authenticity. She rejects the sterile, detached perspective of traditional therapy in favour of a "Language of Safety," reframing traumatic symptoms not as signs of "brokenness," but as the body’s adaptive survival strategies.

Where Wounds Live is ultimately a transformative guide that honours the whispers of the body before they become screams, offering a lantern to those walking through the fire, and proving that the self waiting on the other side has not just survived, but fundamentally and beautifully rearranged.”

"If we know where the wounds live, we can begin to heal. This powerful collection is a lifetime of work, and if it can serve and soothe even one person, the world will be better for it. Surely it will serve so many. "
