The Soldier's Guide to PTSD
A Guide to Reclaiming Your Life
by Virginia Cruse
Genre: Nonfiction, Self-Help, Military 

Picture
Finally, a book that plainly explains Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Moral Injury, and how Service Members can reclaim their lives step-by-step
As a therapist, Virginia Cruse was becoming frustrated with the rumors her clients heard about PTSD that kept them from getting better. Why did so many of them believe that PTSD had no cure? That they couldn’t have PTSD because they were not in direct combat? That they didn’t “deserve” to have PTSD, or didn’t “deserve” to get better? The answer hit a nerve with Cruse: no one had taken the time to explain PTSD to Service Members in a way that made sense. Soldiers were losing their resiliency and optimism in a culture that propagated misinformation and went against the facts about PTSD, facts that are necessary to know in order to recover good mental health and salvage important relationships.
Told in the voice of a Soldier-turned-therapist who struggled through her own debilitating PTSD, The Soldier’s Guide does not waste time cutting through the bull and getting down to brass tacks. It is a call to arms, offering facts, empathy, and direction, while urging Service Members to get the help they need, helping family members to understand the battlefield, and connecting civilians with a Warrior culture.

Although this one is aimed at the military, I suspect that it would not take a major effort to adjust it to techniques to help those who suffer from PTSD from other forms of trauma.

I’m an Air Force vet and this is so spot on. Everyone has this mentality that they don’t deserve to have ptsd because we knew others who have it so much worse. Every experience is valid and deserves the attention to be worked through. This sounds like an important read, especially for military leadership.
