After the Trauma

PTSD rarely stays in the past it came from. It surfaces in sleep, in crowded rooms, in a sound that means nothing to anyone else — and it can be hard to explain to people who have not felt it. The writers here have, and they say it plainly.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts trace the long work of recovery: the triggers and the flashbacks, the search for a therapist who fits, approaches like EMDR, exposure therapy, and medication, and the slow return of steadiness. They are honest about relapse, and about the ordinary days that simply hold.

Who it's for

For those living with PTSD, the partners and families beside them, and anyone who wants to feel less alone inside it.
