The Damage of Words
A Memoir of Healing Self-Hate and Gaining Self-Mastery

From age 3, Katrina endured relentless physical and emotional abuse from her narcissistic mother while her passive father hid in denial. Gaslit into self-hatred, she lived in fear, suppressing her emotions and needs. Trauma shaped her, leading to cycles of self-destruction—until fate led her to healing at 40.

In her debut memoir, Katrina shares her 12-year journey of overcoming childhood abuse, complex PTSD, and deep-seated self-loathing. Through diverse healing modalities, she reclaimed her worth, embraced her high sensitivity, and awakened spiritually. With raw honesty and research-backed insights, she hopes to inspire others to step toward healing and happiness.

"The Damage of Words is unparalleled, fearlessly accompanying you on an awakening you may think is out of reach. Katrina's lens into healing is like no other, cutting through BS by sharing her journey and teaching you self-mastery in every chapter. Guiding you to manage yourself and your energy, and giving you the space to realign, heal and reconnect to your psychic talents. Gift it to yourself to be more than you ever knew you could be, what you always were supposed to be.” — Dr. Chantelle Brandt Larsen, Transformation Leader and Board Advisor
