"You may be at a point in your life where you realize that you have been edgy, a bit depressed, feeling unsettled. Yet everything in your life seems to be okay. You look for a cause, but you just can't put your finger on it. Perhaps you should examine your recent past -- six months ago, a year ago -- and ask yourself, 'What did I go through that was stressful at the time, yet I was able to deal with by suppressing my stress until that situation was over?' 'Aftershock' is a term coined by clinical psychologist Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter, who came to recognize this largely ignored scenario in many of her patients. As a subclinical level of the more familiar post-traumatic stress disorder, 'aftershock' may underlie your present emotional stress, a delayed emotional response that affects many of us life events such as miscarriage, moving to a new city, divorce, or, for some people, the covid-19 pandemic that has rocked much of the world. The most urgent raison d’etre of 'Aftershock' is to enlighten readers to the very presence of this psychological trauma -- what it is and what causes it, how to recognize the symptoms, and how to heal when life's stressors keep you in the center of the aftershock of a storm."
