Having survived two murder attempts by her mentally unstable mother and living through a tumultuous family life, Paula shares how these adversities led her to develop soft skills for positive control in various aspects of life. She speaks about her therapeutic journey to acknowledge and heal from her past traumas, detailing the process of recognizing and responding to the emotional, mental, and physical clues that pointed towards her mother's attempts on her life. Furthermore, Paula discusses her ventures into therapy, the varying effectiveness of therapists, and her subsequent focus on journaling and self-help as mechanisms for recovery.
