Description:

PTSD recovery is no easy feat... and neither is climbing a mountain. It's time for a new perspective and a stronger chance of recovery.

You might be surprised by the number of similarities there are between overcoming trauma and climbing a mountain… but this could be the most useful metaphor you’ll ever hear.

No matter what led you to be living with PTSD, you’ve had considerable trauma in your past, and it still haunts you to this day.

You’re not alone.

About 20% of the people who’ve experienced a traumatic event go on to deal with PTSD – and many of them are people like you. They’re veterans, first responders, and healthcare workers – people who have witnessed extreme events in the line of their everyday lives.

The complication is that no matter what their work may share in common, no two people have experienced exactly the same trauma… and no two people’s PTSD presents in exactly the same way.

But recovery is possible for each one of them… and it’s possible for you too.

And that’s where the mountain comes in.

When you look at the idea of breaking free from PTSD, it’s a lot like standing at the foot of one of the highest peaks in the world. You can’t see the way up, and you’re not certain what it’s going to be like at the top.

Climbing a mountain requires teamwork. You have to be committed, and you have to be willing, at some point, to take a leap of faith.

This unique guide to PTSD recovery will be the first member of your team, showing you the route and highlighting the steps you need to take to get to the peak. Inside, you’ll discover:

A frank and personal account of the author’s journey – and all the inspiration you need to see that recovery really is a lot like climbing a mountainThe key ingredient to recovery (and why you shouldn’t give up when you feel like you’re not making progress)Why it isn’t really about the peak: What you’re gaining on the arduous upward climbA clearer understanding of “the trauma loop” – so you can see what you’re battlingThe reason you need to let go of time… and the treasures you can find when you doThe importance of other people on your road to recovery… with clues to help you find the right people for your teamWhy your journey isn’t over when you reach the top of the mountainHow to change your approach to recovery and appreciate the wins you probably haven’t noticed you’ve been having all alongThe skills from your professional training that may be making your recovery harder… and the #1 thing you can do to make it easierHow to escape from a life of being boxed in by your triggers… and notice more glimmers in their placeThe true story of a Kilimanjaro expedition: View your recovery differently, and you’ll start to see your experience in a new light

And much more.

PTSD is all-encompassing, and you may be resigned to living life as its constant companion. But, just like a mountain, it can be conquered… and just as a climb will open up the doors to growth and reward, so will your recovery.

You may feel like you’ve already tried every trick in the book. It’s time for a fresh perspective… and this book is everything you need to find just that.

Description:

"I'm going down now," I said to a young woman a few seconds before the darkness-my first cardiac arrest. As I returned to work as a behavioral coach, it became maddening to hear about all-consuming, everyday problems and misguided priorities while I fought to merely remain conscious.

The Half-Known Life challenges conventional thinking of success, identity, and personal change. Most often, truly profound change happens following events that shake someone to their core-a car accident, death of a family member, or cardiac arrest that pulls them into a moment of clarity. Priorities change when time becomes precious. Problems look different when you have no energy left to give them. Why wait until you're burnt out or for a life-changing event to occur before getting real about your life? Who are you when all of the accolades and accomplishments are gone? What does how you manage your time say about what's important to you-about what matters most? Get out of your head and get into your life, before it slips away.
