By Emily Bleeker

In her powerful and moving memoir, My Body is a Haunted House, Emily Bleeker courageously recounts her experiences with chronic pain, sexual assault, and depression, weaving together a haunting tale of trauma and recovery.

Bleeker's story begins with her childhood, where she was often sick and in pain. As she grew older, her symptoms worsened, and she was eventually diagnosed with a rare chronic illness. The pain was debilitating, and it forced Bleeker to withdraw from her friends and family.

In addition to her physical pain, Bleeker also struggled with mental health issues. She was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and she often felt like she was losing her mind. The combination of her physical and mental health problems made it difficult for Bleeker to function.

One day, Bleeker was sexually assaulted. The assault was a traumatic experience that left her feeling violated and ashamed. She didn't tell anyone about the assault for years, and it continued to haunt her.

After the assault, Bleeker's mental health worsened. She began to self-harm, and she even attempted suicide. She was eventually hospitalized, where she received treatment for her depression and anxiety.

In the years since her hospitalization, Bleeker has slowly begun to rebuild her life. She has found ways to manage her chronic pain, and she has learned how to cope with her mental health issues. She has also found a community of support from other survivors of trauma.

My Body is a Haunted House is a powerful and moving memoir that explores the lasting effects of trauma on the body and mind. Bleeker's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and it offers hope to others who have survived trauma.
