100 to 0 100: From Survival Living

100 to 0 to 100 is the story of several broken nights and the long climb back from them. It is the book the author went looking for when she was at her lowest and could never find. Part memoir and part guide to healing, this book explores recovery through both lived experience and science. The author is a biotechnology engineer, and she writes about her own breakdown and recovery in the way she was trained to examine everything: by asking what is happening underneath. So you get both the story and the reasons beneath it, woven together.Drawing on psychology, psychoanalysis, and neuroscience, she explains what trauma does to the brain and body, why we keep repeating the relationships that hurt us, where the harsh inner voice comes from, and how the nervous system learns fear and can be taught safety again. It makes healing something you can understand and actively work towards.She does not pretend it was tidy. She writes honestly about childhood wounds, years spent hurting in silence, what loneliness in a foreign country can do to a person, the lowest night of her life, and the difficult, real work of climbing back, one small act of self-preservation at a time.It offers no toxic positivity and no quick fixes, just an honest account of how a person finds her way back to living after surviving.Inside this book: - A true story of hitting rock bottom and climbing back to a life worth living- Clear, jargon-free psychology and neuroscience that explain why healing works- An honest look at childhood trauma, attachment, and the patterns we repeat without realising it- Practical tools for self-compassion, calming the nervous system, and rewiring old fears
