From Hell to Health: Journeys Through PTSD/PTSI is an international anthology exploring the many paths toward healing from post-traumatic stress injury. Co-editors Randall Burks Sexton, psychiatric nurse practitioner, and Pamela Ellen Ferguson, global author and Zen Shiatsu instructor, combine decades of clinical experience, teaching, and lived wisdom to present one of the most comprehensive collections of personal stories and integrative healing approaches available today.

Veterans, therapists, physicians, counselors, artists, educators, and survivors share deeply personal accounts of confronting trauma-and finding hope beyond it. Their stories reveal the lasting effects of military service, domestic violence, racism, childhood abuse, political conflict, human trafficking, industrial accidents, cults, and school and urban violence.

This book is not defined by trauma. It is defined by healing.

Readers will discover conventional, complementary, and emerging therapies that have helped real people reclaim their lives. Alongside established clinical treatments, contributors explore meditation, bodywork, expressive arts, writing, music, community activism, spiritual practices, and other integrative approaches that nurture recovery of the mind, body, and spirit.

Contributors represent North and South America, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Ireland, Ukraine, Croatia, China, Egypt, Palestine, the West Indies, and nations throughout West and South Africa. Their voices reveal both the universal nature of trauma and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit while examining the impact of trauma on children, families, and generations.

Whether you are living with PTSD/PTSI, caring for someone who is, or serving as a psychiatrist, psychologist, counselor, social worker, physician, coach, chaplain, or integrative health practitioner, this anthology offers practical insight, compassionate understanding, and renewed hope. Each chapter reminds us that no single pathway to healing exists-and that recovery often begins by discovering the one that speaks to you.

In the Introduction, J.D. Messinger, Executive Director of the Do More Good(R) Movement and author of the #1 Amazon bestseller 11 Days in May, shares how many of the therapies featured in this anthology contributed to his own healing and have benefited more than a thousand executive coaching clients. His endorsement reinforces the book's central message: healing becomes possible when we remain open to new perspectives, courageous conversations, and compassionate care.

Published by Do More Good(R) Publishing, From Hell to Health reflects the Movement's mission to educate, empower, and amplify purpose-driven leaders who do more good.

No matter how deep the wounds of yesterday may be, tomorrow can begin with hope.

Description de la boutique

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
