Ptsd Dog

This is the very raw story of a man who served his country, fought in the Falklands, and then, had extreme difficulty adjusting after the war. But it is actually much more than that. Yes, like many veterans of combat he fought - and continues to fight - with post-traumatic stress disorder. However, the factors leading to his PTSD began long before he ever put on his uniform and picked up a gun.

In PTSD Recovery Foundations, Dr. Jeremy P. Crosby provides, in everyday language, the necessary foundation for understanding the most critical PTSD issues. The mental patterns involved in PTSD are described with explanation of the techniques and skills used to cope with symptoms and effectively engage the healing process.

When US Marine Rob Kugler returns from war not only had he given up a year of his life in service to his country, but he had also lost a brother in the fighting as well. Lost in grief, Rob finds solace and relief in the one thing that never fails to put a smile on his face: his chocolate lab, Bella. Exceptionally friendly, and always with - you wouldn’t believe it - a smile on her face, Bella is the friend Rob needs, and they spend their days exploring nature and taking photos. But then Bella develops a limp in her front leg. It’s cancer.

Before starting into treatment and recovery, PTSD can feel like a bewildering and overwhelming set of symptoms that are in charge of your life. In The PTSD Recovery Starter Pack, psychologist and author Dr. Jeremy P. Crosby presents the essential basic knowledge necessary for starting to understand PTSD and beginning the process of rebuilding your life in a healthy way. The core message is that PTSD is understandable, and once we understand it, there are things we can do about it to get better.
