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.

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
