Dr. Utter's book, Aftershock: How Past Events Shake Up Your Life Today, is the beginning of therapy for everyone. On completion of the book, you realize that everyone would benefit from talking to a mental health professional, especially one who is as insightful and able to read in between the lines of your thoughts like Dr. Utter. She lays out the groundwork from the beginning of the trauma, then takes you on a step-by-step experience of how to address it. At the end of each chapter, a brief “Let’s Review” section pinpoints the important issues discussed. Dr. Utter's humor and self-acknowledgement that she too benefits from therapy puts a person, even the most reluctant, at ease in understanding how to seek help and comfort. From the beginning, her personal stories are intertwined to explain how our psyches work. She then breaks it down into humorous examples for better understanding. At times, the ‘lol’ written on the pages really turned into ‘laugh out loud’ for me. I truly can say that I could not put this book down until finished and then wanted more!”

“After reading Aftershock, I felt more at ease with myself knowing that people from all walks of life have experienced a life event that was traumatic for them. I got an educational, and hilarious, outlook on trauma and how it is different for everyone. I liked that there were personal stories shared in the book and I was able to connect to them. In my opinion, learning while being able to relate and laugh is amazing. It is worth the read because once you pick it up, you’ll go through all emotions and not want to put it down until it’s finished. It’ll leave you wanting more!”
—Brittany Lee, college student
