"A nuanced reflection on motherhood as well as an impassioned defense of reproductive rights, the book highlights the ways that traumas compound across time and circumstances... A formidable rumination on the impact of childhood trauma into adulthood.' -Kirkus Reviews

In A World Turned Upside Down; A Memoir of Healing, Amy Sosne, MD, chronicles her harrowing journey from a high-achieving physician and psychiatrist to a patient grappling with layers of trauma, as she unravels a triggering experience she suffered one night while working on-call. Triggered by childhood sexual abuse, her mental health crisis forced her to confront deep emotional wounds while navigating the overwhelming physical and emotional challenges of infertility and ultimately an impossible, tragic pregnancy. Through mindfulness, acceptance, and healing. Sosne emerges as a devoted mother, educator, and advocate for mental health, women's rights, and mindfulness.
