‘If it was so bad, why didn’t you leave sooner?’

This question haunted Prachi Saxena long after ending her toxic marriage. In this raw and compelling memoir-meets-guidebook, she delves into the roots of her struggles with love and self-worth. Growing up in a home marked by emotional neglect and abuse, Prachi internalised the belief that love had to be earned—no matter the cost.

Trapped in a painful cycle of toxic relationships, she uncovered a startling truth—her heartbreaks weren’t just bad luck but a subconscious replay of familiar patterns from her past. These patterns, rooted in her wounds, kept leading her towards self-sabotage.

Blending her deeply personal story with science-backed insights from two decades as a trauma therapist, Prachi empowers modern Indian women to reclaim their lives. This transformative guide offers a roadmap to understanding the wounds that block healthy love and provides practical tools to heal toxic relationships.

Honest, relatable, and deeply inspiring, this book is a must-read for anyone ready to break free from toxic cycles and create the love they truly deserve.

‘The book not only attempts to identify the “red flags” in a relationship but also offers a solution to the problem.’
