Riassunto

For most of my life, I believed something was fundamentally wrong with me.

I didn’t understand why I reacted the way I did.
Why certain moments stuck with me.
Why I couldn’t just “move on” the way everyone else seemed to.

This book is the story of where that belief came from — and what it took to begin unraveling it.

The Righteous Rage of a Ten-Year-Old Boy is not just a memoir. It’s an honest, unfiltered look at trauma, therapy, and the slow, often uncomfortable process of learning how to understand yourself.

It traces the impact of childhood experiences that don’t always look dramatic from the outside — but shape everything on the inside.

And it explores what happens when you finally stop asking:

“What’s wrong with me?”

…and start asking:

“What happened to me?”

This book is for you if:

• You’ve ever felt like your reactions don’t make sense

• You’ve struggled with self-worth or identity

• You’re working through trauma, recovery, or personal growth

• You want a clearer understanding of how the past shapes the present

This isn’t a story about quick fixes.

It’s a story about awareness, accountability, and the long path toward change.

Review

This book is a gift, a gift of hope in many ways… Hope that an abusive childhood can have a happy ending. Hope that we now have the psychotherapy tools, like EMDR, that can really help heal the past wounding. Hope that such wonderful therapists like Nysa really do exist and can walk their clients through their heart-wrenching stories and shepherd them into the light of healing into a functional life.

The dialogues are wonderful. More than anything else, they are real. This book reads like a story, except that it really is true, and the author really did overcome the challenges of his childhood. He shows us how beautifully an EMDR session can flow into the past and back, and rewards us with hope and triumph.
