You Did the Hard Part.
So Why Doesn't It Feel Finished?
This is for the woman who already did the work.
You left, or you mentally checked out and never went back the same way again.
You know what you lived through. You can name it. You understand the patterns.
And you thought that once you got here, something in you would finally click.
But it hasn’t, well, not completely…
You still second-guess yourself in conversations that should feel simple. You still catch yourself over-explaining, adjusting, shrinking just a little. You still walk away from things feeling off, even when nothing obviously went wrong.
You’re not confused about what happened. You’re confused about why you still feel this way after everything you’ve done to get better.
That gap between what you understand and how you actually show up is exactly where this book begins.
About the Book
Coming Back To Yourself: How To Rebuild Identity and Self Trust After An Abusive Relationship
This isn’t another book about recognizing abuse or understanding narcissism. You already have that language.
Coming Back To Yourself is about what comes after. It’s about the weird in-between space where you’re no longer the woman who survived, but you’re not fully the woman you’re becoming yet.
It’s about why you can know something completely and still act the same way, why your patterns don’t just disappear when you understand them, and what it actually takes to close the gap. It’s not all in one big breakthrough, but in the small, lived moments that quietly start to change everything.
Lisa Sonni spent nearly a decade inside an abusive relationship. She knows what it’s like to leave and still finds herself repeating the same patterns. She knows the specific frustration of doing all the right things and still not feeling like yourself.
This book is her answer to the question she hears from women over and over:
“I know what happened. I just don’t know how.”
Inside you’ll discover:
- Why awareness alone doesn’t change how you move through your life, and what actually does
- The specific roles you learned to survive, and why they’re still running even now
- Why you still feel pulled back sometimes, and what that feeling is really about
- Why you don’t fully trust yourself yet, and how that starts to shift
- How to stop leaving yourself in the small moments that quietly shape your identity
- Who you are when you stop living in survival mode
Real language. Real moments. No therapy jargon. No quick fixes. Just the truth of what this phase actually looks and feels like, and what moves you through it.

About She Rises Collective
She Rises is Lisa’s ongoing support space for women who are rebuilding after abusive relationships. Inside, you’ll find workshops, community, and tools designed to help you move from understanding what happened to actually living differently. The Foundations level is where women start.
About the Recovery Strategy Call
This is a private, one-on-one call with Lisa — not a sales call, not a check-in. A real conversation where Lisa helps you get clear on exactly where you are, what’s still keeping you stuck, and what your next step looks like.
This is the kind of conversation that changes something.
