You may have heard or even thought that PTSD was a "military thing" or perhaps you believe that you or a loved one are incapable of experiencing such a disorder since you are a believer in Christ. The truth is, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) can affect any who have suffered trauma in their life, and more individuals suffer than one would believe. Annalise Green is one such individual who has experienced and understands what PTSD is like after she experienced the tragic loss of her husband. For years, she was unable to seek the help she needed as she found herself drowning in the pain, anxiety, and fight/flight/freeze responses that could be triggered at any given moment. It turns out she was not alone as many who suffer from this disorder do not know where to go for help and end up suffering in silence. It is time to break the silence and seek the help that is out there. Teaming up with Earl Hocquard, MALLP, Annalise has opened up and shared her captivating story of life happening, tragedy, helplessness, and her journey to living again in My PTSD Soul: Taming the Monster Under the Bed. In the words of Annaliese, "This is not a cookie-cutter, how-to manual. Every struggle is different." Rather, this is a book that houses shared PTSD experiences not just from Annaliese, but from Earl, as well, that offers helpful advice, exercises, and practical help to reclaim life again along with spiritual guidance and healing only God can provide. Sharing one's story of fighting against or even overcoming PTSD is to shine a light of hope and eventual recovery to many who live their lives in the shadows of their own monsters.
