Synopsis

My lifetime spent in support of hospitals in the world’s trouble spots has been filled with perilous yet life-affirming experiences. I have been fortunate to participate in some of the most momentous changes of recent history, and to witness events as few others have. While the experiences have been incredible, the cost of my calling has been continued exposure to horror and human suffering and an ongoing struggle with PTSD. During over forty years of repetitive trauma, I have experienced an ongoing cycle of relapse and recovery. The gift of this on-going effort has been growth from the pain, and ultimately, a new perspective on this life threatening condition. The pursuit of post traumatic growth (PTG) has given me gifts of empathy, compassion, and an understanding of humanity that I could have gained in no other way. The practice of PTG described in this book clearly shows that PTSD does not need to be a disability for those who are able to turn trauma into growth.
