"As parts of my childhood memories returned, I tried to make sense of it all. Piece by piece, the puzzle began to come together. I finally understood why I had lived with anxiety, panic attacks, a constant sense of fear, and the need to lock my bedroom door at night."
Abused as a child, Marisa Russo grew up feeling unsafe, disconnected, and caught in patterns of poor choices and negativity. Struggling with commitment and identity, her early life was shaped by the hidden effects of trauma she could not yet see.
In her forties, everything began to change.
Through deep inner work and self-discovery, Marisa reclaimed her true identity-and made it her life's mission to help other women do the same.
As the founder of Forensic Healing, her powerful, investigative approach first gained recognition through her book Women Breaking Free. Now, in Freeing The Unloved Girl, she takes this work even deeper-guiding readers to uncover, understand, and heal the wounds of the past.
Blending real-life experiences, practical exercises, and compassionate insight, this book offers a clear path forward for any woman ready to break free.
Inside, you will discover:
• A 25-step process for deep healing, self-discovery, and empowerment
• How to release the lasting effects of emotional, physical, and societal conditioning
• Ways to reconnect with your inner knowing, intuition, and personal truth
• How to let go of guilt, negative beliefs, and limiting patterns
• Tools to express yourself fully and step into your authentic voice
• A unique approach to evaluating relationships and strengthening your personal power
• A proven daily system to create a richer, more fulfilling, and aligned life
This is more than a book-it is a pathway to healing, freedom, and becoming the woman you were always meant to be.
An international award-winning teacher, author, speaker and healer, for twenty-five years Marisa Russo has been changing lives. With her Forensic Healing approach to therapy, the media refer to Marisa as the 'Sherlock Holmes of Healing'. Marisa has a mind that never stops questioning, digging for answers and solutions. She thrives on solving the most challenging health conditions and life circumstances. After working with thousands of clients over the last two and a half decades, Marisa knows the mindset, the healing processes and techniques that really work to help people heal. But it wasn't always this way for Marisa..."I didn't always want to be an alternative therapist. In fact, I wasn't sure I'd amount to anything. I was 40 before I had the first, genuine liberating thought that I might actually have something to contribute to the world! I was emotionally, physically and sexually abused as a child. I grew up feeling worthless and alone. A raft of addictions masked my pain. I was totally dysfunctional. My body and emotions were riddled with so much suffering that life seemed futile and death a welcome option. For many years I travelled the globe, desperate to overcome and escape the chronic pain, fatigue, addictions and illnesses that resulted from years of abuse. The unrelenting pain led me to seek alternative therapy only because traditional doctors said I would have to live with the pain for the rest of my life - a prophecy that I wasn't about to accept!" Marisa tried many different therapies and studied more than 60 courses. $310,000 later she discovered her healing gift. Through clearing her own condition, her energetic connection had grown so strong that she could read a person's body to accurately determine the cause of their condition and know how to bring relief. In 2011, after many requests from clients to learn her methods, Marisa combined all of the alternative healing techniques she discovered into the Forensic Healing homebased and live training courses.
