Have you ever wondered what it means to survive without someone noticing? Still Here invites you into a journey that refuses to glamorise survival or demand your gratitude. Drawing on lived experience rather than theory, Lucian Deighton offers a quiet companion for anyone who carries unseen wounds.
In these pages, you will discover how trauma rewires body, mind and soul and why endless achievement or polite silence can mask a deeper cost. Rather than prescribing steps, the book shares twelve approaches born from necessity, practices that helped the author stay present when everything else felt too much. You will not be asked to prove your pain or to forgive too soon. Instead, you will be offered language that honours your endurance and dignity.
Whether you have been labelled anxious, depressed or told to move on, you will find solidarity here. You will learn to name what has gone unnamed, pause in the midst of chaos and recognise that surviving is not a performance. Still Here is not a manual of recovery but an invitation to remain with yourself in moments of despair and to remember that your presence alone is enough.
You will also learn to abandon beliefs, whether cultural, religious, or survival skills, that no longer serve you, and to step away from work or relationships that stifle the life within you.
