Unlearn the Trauma
Reclaim Your Life
Nicole Garcia – Survivor, Author, Advocate for Healing
I Know What It’s Like to Survive Trauma
I was five years old when my life changed forever. My mother was murdered right in front of me, and I had to testify against my father. For years, I carried the weight of trauma, grief, and survival. But I learned that trauma doesn’t define us: what we do next does. I built Unlearn the Trauma to help others break free, heal, and live fully.
“Healing isn’t about forgetting the past. It’s about unlearning the trauma that keeps you stuck.”
Healing Resilience, And Truth
A STORY OF COURAGE AND TRANSFORMATION
For the first time, I tell my true story—the childhood trauma, the courtroom testimony, and the road to healing.
At just six years old, I testified against my father, who was convicted of murdering my mother and her friend. Dad, Why Did You Kill My Mom? is more than just a true crime book. It’s a powerful memoir of survival, resilience, and reclaiming my life after trauma.
