Can You Relate?: My Personal Diaries of Relationship Trauma and My Healing Journey

Mallory Cooper

"Can You Relate?" shares the intimate and raw stories from Mallory Cooper's teenage dating years, a time filled with both unforgettable highs and deep lows. It is the culmination of years spent processing and finally speaking out about the traumatic experiences she faced, the manipulation she endured, and the difficult journey she has taken toward healing. Readers will walk alongside Mallory as she navigates the complexities of young love, the confusion of her emotions, and the devastating moments that shaped her.
Within these pages, there is heartbreak--the kind that feels like a slow, suffocating ache. There will be moments of lightness, small laughs that remind her of the joy she once found in fleeting connections, and yes, there may be tears--both from the pain she has carried and from the growth she has achieved. Learn about the relationships that taught her the hardest lessons, the ones that made me question her worth, and those that pushed her to the edge. However, by the end, she hopes that you will see more than just the pain; you will understand the resilience she built, the strength she discovered within herself, and how she chose to heal, rebuild, and ultimately reclaim her power. This memoir isn't just her story; it's a testament to anyone who has ever faced the darkness, felt lost, but still found the courage to rise again.

About the Author

Mallory Cooper is a passionate writer from Oregon. After graduating high school, she made the decision not to pursue further formal education, choosing instead to follow a career as a pharmacy technician. While her professional path took a different direction, her love for writing never faded. In fact, it was during her time as a journalist in high school that she first discovered her passion for the written word. Her journey into writing as a form of self-expression truly began when her therapist encouraged her to share her personal stories. Inspired by the power of storytelling, she set out to write her first book, which marks the beginning of what she hopes will be a long and fulfilling writing career. While "Can You Relate?" is her debut book, Mallory has plans and is already working on more ideas to continue spreading her stories to others who need help in teenage relationships.
A key motivation for her writing is the desire to help others who may find themselves relating to her experiences. Mallory is deeply inspired by the process of healing and growth, believing that through writing, she can offer a sense of comfort and understanding to those facing similar struggles. Her writing reflects her own journey, one that has been shaped by the lessons learned through her personal relationships and the challenges she has overcome.
When she's not writing, Mallory enjoys spending time playing beach volleyball, an activity that helps her stay active and centered. She also cherishes her time with her two cats, Mocha and Jax, who are a constant source of companionship and joy. In quieter moments, she can often be found binge-watching her favorite Netflix shows, finding inspiration in the stories of others. Mallory firmly believes that the lessons learned from her relationships and life experiences have shaped her into the person she is today. These lessons continue to fuel her writing, and she is grateful for every opportunity to connect with others through the stories she shares.
