I Am Not Done Yet: A Map to Starting Over After Trauma

Trauma can be a crash. It can also be a divorce, a breakup, a death, the loss of a job, or any life event that splits your identity into before and after.

In I Am Not Done Yet, Dr. Timothy Carpenter shares a heartfelt roadmap for rebuilding after personal trauma. Drawing from his own life-changing experience, he offers a steady, practical guide for the part nobody prepares you for: the quiet middle after everything changes.

This book helps you rebuild with tools that work on real days, including:

• how to stop the mental spiral and give your mind a clear instruction

• how to create containers for grief and anger so they don't hijack your day

• how to shut down the nighttime replay loop and protect sleep

• how to build momentum with a Minimum Viable Day and a never miss twice rule

• how to recover from setbacks without shame

• how to pace a changed body without giving up your life

• how to ask for support without surrendering your dignity

• how to rebuild connection, meaning, and usefulness in sustainable doses

• how to create a weekly blueprint so you stop starting over every morning

No performance. No pretending.

Just a map, a rhythm, and a return.
