📅 The Months After Survival Nobody Checks On You: Trauma Hangover Stories: Medical, Legal, Prison, Betrayal
The Months After Survival Nobody Checks On You explores the quiet, overlooked period that follows trauma when the emergency is over but the damage remains.
This ebook focuses on the trauma hangover that comes after survival medical crises, legal battles, incarceration, and deep personal betrayal. It speaks to the months when support fades, attention disappears, and you are left alone to process what nearly broke you.
Survival keeps you alive.
It does not make you whole.
Inside this book, Christopher J. Standish Jr. explains why trauma often surfaces after the danger ends and why people stop checking in once your story is no longer urgent.
You will learn:
What a trauma hangover really is and why it happens
Why people care during the crisis but disappear afterward
How medical survival changes your relationship with your body
Why legal and prison survival rewire your nervous system
How betrayal trauma fractures trust and identity
Why anger, numbness, and loneliness show up late
How to heal when no one is watching
How to build a life that accounts for what you survived
This book is for anyone who made it through something devastating and then felt abandoned in the aftermath.
For those who survived and were told to move on.
For those who healed quietly.
For those who carried the weight alone.
Survival was not the ending.
It was the beginning.
