Making Sense of the Insensible

About the Book

Why do some wounds linger long after the moment has passed? Why do certain life lessons seem to repeat, no matter how much we grow?

In Making Sense of the Insensible, transformational healer and emotional wellness expert Leonie Blackwell offers a groundbreaking framework for understanding the ten core injustices that shape our lives—from betrayal and hypocrisy to limitation and manipulation. These aren’t just painful moments; they are emotional lessons waiting to be decoded.

With warmth, clarity, and lived wisdom, Leonie guides readers through the hidden patterns behind our suffering, revealing how each injustice holds the key to healing, growth, and self-reclamation. Whether you’re navigating childhood wounds, relationship struggles, or internal battles, this book will help you move from confusion to clarity, and from pain to personal power.

Perfect for anyone ready to stop surviving their past and start understanding their inner truth.

“This book should be in every home—parents need it to understand parenthood and teenagers to navigate life.”

– Scott Alexander King, bestselling author of Animal Dreaming
