Held, Not Healed (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798280087187)

Held, Not Healed is a raw and unflinching memoir about surviving the darkest corners of the mental health system-and the even darker corners of the mind.

Told through powerful, intimate chapters, Kait Popert shares her lived experience with bipolar disorder, hospitalization in a psychiatric ward, and the long, painful process of healing. From the cold isolation of a mattress on the floor to the quiet victories of reconnecting with culture, motherhood, and self, this book offers an honest look at what it means to live with a lifelong mental illness.

This is not a story of being cured. This is a story of endurance, of reclaiming voice and identity, and of finding humanity in a place designed to strip it away.

Held, Not Healed is for anyone who has ever felt broken by their brain, anyone who has fought to be heard, and anyone who needs to know they are not alone.
