Permission to Heal

From Sexual Abuse, Narcissistic Abuse, and Childhood Trauma

About

If You’ve Spent a Lifetime Blaming Yourself, You’re Not Alone—Society is the Problem, not you!

Have you mastered the art of appearing fine... while silently falling apart inside?  What if the version of you they tried to destroy... is exactly who you were meant to become?  What if the healing you’ve been waiting for isn’t in time... but in someone else’s story that finally speaks your truth?

Through Melonie’s raw and unfiltered story you will see how to:

  • Stop second-guessing yourself: Learn how narcissists condition you to doubt your reality—and how to break free.
  • Build unshakable boundaries—even if you’ve spent your whole life letting others decide your worth.
  • Find your voice after years of silence, shame, and suppression.
  • Get the language to explain your pain—so you no longer feel invisible to others or yourself.
  • Stop over-apologizing, over-explaining, and over-functioning for people who never deserved that power.
  • Learn how to set limits without guilt—even with the narcissist who raised you.
  • Reclaim your right to joy, rest, and wholeness—without needing anyone’s permission.
  • Rebuild your inner world after years of being gaslit, minimized, and emotionally manipulated.
  • Feel less alone by reading the exact thoughts, fears, and patterns that survivors rarely say out loud.
  • Start trusting your instincts again—even if they’ve been buried under years of self-doubt.

You may say that your situation is different-no book could possibly understand my story.

You’re right—your story is different. And that’s exactly why this book doesn’t try to offer one-size-fits-all advice.

Instead, it shares the lived experience of someone who knows what it’s like to grow up feeling invisible, to question their own memories, and to survive by shrinking.

This isn’t about offering neat little solutions. It’s about giving language to the things you’ve never been able to say out loud.

So no, it may not match every detail of your story. But it will make you feel less alone in it. And that, sometimes, is the first breath of healing.

If you want to feel seen, understood, and no longer ashamed of what you’ve endured, then order one today!

Praise for this book

I have had the profound privilege of knowing Melonie and cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment I met Melonie, her humble and approachable nature was magnetic. She possesses an ability to connect on a deep, empathetic level, understanding complexities of trauma and providing a safe, loving space for healing. Her deeply spiritual approach resonates with anyone in her presence. Melonie is a genuine seeker of light and truth, and it emanates from her very being.

I was pleasantly surprised at the care and genuine spirit of wanting to help people.
