Synopsis

The self-help book for veterans who wouldn't be caught dead reading a self-help book

Psychologists, non-profits, and the VA all stand ready to help a returning veteran cope with PTSD and Moral Injury. But they can't--not until that veteran stops pretending they're fine.
That's what Continuing Actions is all about.

Using the language of squad bays, ready rooms, and firefights, former Marine Cobra pilot and special operations forward air controller Dan Sheehan provides a no-BS guide to navigating the challenges of coming home.
Not every veteran needs a counsellor, but every veteran needs a basic understanding of how healthy humans deal with trauma to help themselves and their buddies.

With a foreword by Dr. Jonathan Shay, MD, PhD, bestselling author and rockstar of the VA mental health world, Continuing Actions provides insight into the inevitable challenges of coming home--and what veterans can do to help themselves, their comrades, and their families emerge whole, strong, and healthy on the other side.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dan Sheehan served two tours as a Marine in Iraq: the first flying Cobra helicopters during the 2003 invasion and the second as a Forward Air Controller with a special operations unit in 2004. His first book, After Action: The True Story of a Cobra Pilot's Journey, won multiple awards and continues to help many to understand the human costs of war. His second book, Continuing Actions: A Warrior's Guide to Coming Home, shares the lessons he learned by navigating his own return from combat and combines them with pragmatic suggestions for how others can do the same. Drawing on the works of mental health professionals, scholars, and other veterans, Continuing Actions takes aim at a critical shortcoming in how modern warriors are prepared for the challenges of service, and provides suggestions for how individual veterans and active duty can overcome these challenges themselves. When he's not writing, flying, chasing his two young children, or walking the dogs, Dan can usually be found surfing with his wife off the southern California coast.
