A memoir about healing, truth-telling, and finally being seen after a lifetime of hiding.
She was never broken—just buried under everyone else’s version of who she should be.
See Through is a bold, emotionally honest memoir about what it takes to reclaim your voice in a world that teaches you to hide. Stephanie M. Hutchins, PhD, spent decades performing strength while silently drowning in the aftermath of trauma, misdiagnosis, and the invisibility of high-functioning suffering. This book is the result of her decision to stop pretending and tell the truth.
Through raw storytelling and hard-won insight, Stephanie explores the cost of radical honesty—and the freedom it makes possible. She writes about surviving childhood abuse, sudden loss, chronic dismissal, and the pressure to appear “fine” while everything inside is falling apart.
For readers drawn to memoirs about resilience, authenticity, and healing, See Through offers a powerful blend of lived experience and compassionate self-reflection. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide your pain to be loved or earn your worth to feel safe, this memoir will remind you that it’s possible to be seen without shame and to live a life that finally feels like your own.
