The Good News About PTSD Audiobook (Free)

I ‘m going to f****n kill this c**t!

That was my initial thought when a civie employer clicked his fingers at me and pointed in me to “come here!” (He backed off in rate when he saw the look in my own eyes.)

If we were on live ops I’d have put 2 rounds center mass and 1 in his head! Out within the world, if he was within arm ‘s reach I would have already punched him in the neck!

My reactions are automated because my subconscious bodyguards are highly trained.

Sadly, after about The Good News About PTSD one of my best mates was wiped out in Iraq, reacting to a perceived threat with violence was a common incident which I needed to obtain under contol particularly when my child snuck up behind me to provide Daddy a fright

She saw the look in my eyes and I saw the fear in hers and the trip that led to this book began.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY AND YOU CAN BEAT THIS. How do you know? I’ve been there.

Through the Army, Police and Iraq, combined with the normal life challenges most of us face, I would display signs and symptoms that could match the clinical terms for PTSD but I disagreed that these behaviours were a disorder at all.

Don ‘t misunderstand me, the stress you experienced is real, you might be hurting nightmares, flashbacks, insomnia or you are a werewolf like I had been, but these are perfectly regular responses from what you have already been through.

I found that PTSD signs or symptoms are a result of how EFFECTIVELY you have trained your subconscious bodyguards to keep you alive. This is actually the GOOD news. When you realize what I’ve discovered in this book, you’ll be able to re-train, re-brief and re-deploy ‘Your Unconscious Bodyguards. ‘

“The book will not merely share his own story, but a lot more than that, Dion applies CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) techniques aswell as soldier imagery and Jungian warrior archetypes to access more technical and richer emotional materials when it comes to PTSD.”
