Author Rakhi Kapoor received the Most Outstanding Woman author of the Year 2023 @IIWA The International Inspirational Women Award program for her book Now You Breathe; Overcoming Toxic Relationships and Abuse by the GISR Foundation.

Now You Breathe is a multiple awards winning book including the prestigious International Golden Book Awards 2023 in the category Powerful Relationship Guide.

Now You Breathe is  a book on overcoming Abuse and Toxic Relationships, a sensitive subject most people are hesitant to vocalise in the society.  There is no exception to which gender is prone to abuse within closed doors but women and children suffer the most. The book reteriates on the importance of mental health and the repercussions of trauma, abuse and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on the personality of an individual leading to developing personality disorders like Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, various Antisocial Personality Disorder like Psychopathy and Sociopathy. Individuals affected with personality disorders are mostly able to mask their behaviour in the public. The disordered behaviour which makes them abusive towards very close family members, friends or colleagues emerges in closed spaces. People who can be easily manipulated, dominated and controlled because of their soft spoken, empathetic nature can become easily prone to toxic relationships and abuse. While people with personality disorders and other mental health problems need to seek psychotherapy and psychiatric intervention the individuals who get victimised in relationships with such individuals can protect themselves by being emotionally strong and financially independent. Empowered women have a greater chance to get out of such relationships, protect themselves and their children. Empowering women and educating children especially the girl child is extremely essential in building a healthy family environment in turn creating a positive impact on the society.
