What happens after "Me Too"?
For many survivors, speaking the truth is only the beginning.
In After Me Too: A Guide to Thriving After Sexual Abuse, Chand Sahrawat draws on lived experience, trauma research, counselling and coaching principles to explore the difficult question that follows survival: How do I build my life from here?
Chand shares her own story, but this is not simply a memoir. The heart of the book is a practical pathway built around three stages-Victim, Survivor and Thriving-designed to help readers understand the effects of trauma without allowing trauma to define the rest of their lives.
Readers will explore physical and emotional safety, PTSD and the nervous system, shame and self-blame, disclosure, grief, intimacy, healthcare, accountability, forgiveness, breaking trauma cycles, parenting through trauma and ultimately reclaiming their personal power.
With practical exercises, grounding strategies, reflection questions and international support resources, After Me Too speaks directly to survivors while also helping partners, family members and supporters better understand the journey beside them.
The message is clear: what happened matters. But it does not have to write the ending.
