The Days In Between

The Days In Between

What recovery looks like when the mortgage is still due.

A raw, trauma-informed guided workbook for women learning how to live after survival.

This isn't a workbook about retelling the worst thing that ever happened to you.

It's about what happened afterward.

The morning you still had to get up.

The child who still needed you.

The laundry.

The bills.

The job.

The relationships you couldn't understand.

The body that remembered when you desperately wanted to forget.

The version of you who looked completely functional while privately operating in survival mode.

Written by Ryann A. Baker, LMAC, MBA—addiction counselor, clinical educator, mother, widow, survivor, and author of Built from Broken—The Days In Between combines lived experience with guided reflection to help women understand what trauma may still be taking from their ordinary lives and begin reclaiming it one inch at a time.

This is not about becoming the woman you were before.

It's about discovering who gets to exist now.

This workbook may be for the woman who…

• Looks functional but feels exhausted underneath it.
• Has survived abuse, betrayal, sexual violence, addiction within relationships, grief, instability, or other overwhelming experiences.
• Understands intellectually that something wasn't her fault but still carries shame in her body.
• Keeps confusing intensity with intimacy.
• Struggles to ask for help because doing everything herself feels safer.
• Can handle everybody else's crisis but sometimes cannot handle her own laundry.
• Wants practical reflection without being required to document graphic details of what happened.
• Is rebuilding—and is tired of being told that healing should look prettier than it actually does.
