The Wounded Healer

Description

The Wounded Healer is the unflinching memoir of Conrad Cave — born in 1968 into a world of chaos, addiction, and survival.

Raised by a transgender parent in the criminal underworld of West London, Conrad navigated violence, poverty, care homes, and the criminal justice system before finding his way to an unlikely destination — the therapist’s chair.

Now a practising psychotherapist, Conrad draws on the concept of the ‘wounded healer’ — the idea that those shaped by profound adversity can use their experience to reach others in ways that conventional training never could.

Raw, honest, and at times darkly humorous, The Wounded Healer is a story about what it costs to survive — and what it takes to finally understand why.
