A Soft Place To Land: Journey Through Healing

What do you do with the stories that never got told? The ones that lived in your body long before you had words?A Soft Place to Land is a raw and resonant journey through the layered impact of trauma-and the quiet power of reclaiming yourself in its aftermath.Through poetry, reflection, and personal narrative, Bahtyah Goldston confronts the unspoken: childhood sexual abuse, emotional neglect, chronic illness, identity fragmentation, and the relentless grip of shame. Yet this is not a story of despair-it's a record of resilience.Across these pages, survival is not romanticized but honored. Healing is not presented as linear, but as a return-to presence, to worthiness, to the parts of ourselves we thought were lost.This book is not a guide. It's not a manual. It's a mirror for anyone who's ever felt like they were too much, too sensitive, or too broken. It's for the ones who made it out but never felt like they could say it-the ones who learned to stay quiet, stay strong, stay invisible.You don't need to collapse to be believed. You don't need to be perfect to be worthy. You don't need to earn gentleness.You already deserve it. This is your soft place to land.
