Inhaltsangabe

Like cancer untreated, PTSD can kill-if not the body- the mind and soul. Linda King has portrayed, in real-time, what it is like to live with full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder. With My Face to the Wind is not only for those who have PTSD, or those who support friends and family with PTSD, but it is also for professionals who want a window into the mind and heart of someone struggling to overcome PTSD. With this 2021 revision, Linda hopes that readers who have lived with the symptoms of this disorder (which often goes undiagnosed) will learn coping skills, along with hope and faith to continue on their journey. Linda King's "With My Face to the Wind" is an inspiring read like no other. Her story is one of the tragedies and triumphs, with tears and laughter guiding the way. Mrs. King knows how to tell her tales and pushes her readers to better themselves-by accepting themselves. I suggest this book to anyone-PTSD suffers, mis-understood teenagers, and those who are perfectly fine. This book will lead you to your best self. -Anna Katherine Beerman While sharing some of her personal tragedies, Linda King weaves just enough verifiable psychological content (without causing brain freeze) to know that she's done her homework. Her wit and humor shine through just in the nick of time. . . -Rhonda B. Holmes, Author, The WORD Diet What you have written is too powerful to be read in one or two settings. As a registered nurse I've been accustomed to reading professional abstracts and journals quickly and incorporating new learning into my nursing practice. It was the unanticipated emotional impact that caused me to read it in small "doses" spread over a couple of months. . . . and your format of introducing that information throughout the book as it coincided with stages in your own emotional journey, will make it much easier for individuals affected by PTSD to understand and apply it to their own circumstances. -Elen Wright, R.N
