“Sunita Merriman demonstrates in this book what is at the heart of healing- Courage. Whether you are a clinician or a client, this book can serve as a guide to the healing process.”

There are parts of this book that are hard to read. Not because of what she went through but because of what we each have gone through. Reading Stripping will twist your heart in a knot. And then it becomes untied and beats stronger. Sunita is your inner child, your therapists, your conscience and your best friend. She’s you. She’s me. Read the book and then pass it on to help someone else.

The Way Back Home

TWBH was born out of a lived experience that proved we can find lasting peace for our troubled mind in a complicated world. And by doing the work, we can not only survive trauma and hardships, but also reclaim our true self and regain our personal power. And go on to love, be loved and serve others, optimize and actualize our potential, live free, intentionally, with agency and joy.

This book is for

Those in Search and those in Service. Anyone who may have experienced trauma. And their mother, father, siblings, partner, children, friends, colleagues, boss, pastor, coach, consultant, and everyone else who cares about them. Anyone who wants to better understand themselves. Anyone who wants to help others understand themselves better. Our narrative is everything. And we get to rewrite our story. We start by going back in time.

It’s True. Thrive. Transform. Transcend

  • "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."

    C.G. Jung

  • "It's easy, and it's seductive, to assume that data is really knowledge. Or that information is, indeed, wisdom. Or that knowledge can exist without data."

    Toni Morrison

  • Trauma does not have to be the start and end of our story. It can be the beginning of our transformation. And even transcendence.

  • “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

  • When we peel off all our layers, what remains is our intense need to be loved and to love. It's all about love.
