When You Give Everything All at Once: the Indian Woman’s Guide to Navigating Toxic Relationships

‘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.
