To Hell, Back, and Beyond - A PTSD Journey: When Faith and Trauma Collide

In this updated edition - 9/01/2020 - To Hell, Back, and Beyond describes my account of living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. During therapy I developed a personal approach to managing my PTSD – an approach I use every day and believe will be of benefit to others. I transparently share my struggles dealing with years of trauma as a child growing up in Minnesota, and as a missionary living in Africa for over 20 years. How does one coexist cumulative trauma? Understanding and living with PTSD challenged every aspect of my faith and being. My Boundaries, Accountability, Confession, Knowledge, and Sorrow (B.A.C.K.S.) approach is not meant to diagnose or replace any therapy or medication that you are currently undergoing to help with your condition. Instead, it offers camaraderie, transparent insight, prayer, and exercises to fully explore life with PTSD. Your traumatic experiences need not define you. They can instead propel you toward a greater purpose and fulfillment. Don currently serves in Member Care with wife Kathy to missionaries around the world. He holds several degrees, is a trained life coach, and carries certifications in Fire/EMS/Police Chaplaincy.Read more
