      The Courage To Be Vulnerable. - John Donoghue

      The Courage to be Vulnerable:

      Self-help Guide to Combating PTSD

      John Donoghue

      To Faith,

      who help me realized that I was not alone.

      It's impossible to thank you adequately

      for loving me unconditionally,

      for standing beside me,

      and

      for everything else that you've done.

      To my brother, Andy

      who is not only a great friend but also a decorated veteran

      who shows me constantly that as difficult as life can be

      we can always be assured that we are not suffering alone

      and

      Always remember a simple message or phone call can make a huge impact on the life of someone else.

      So, a little about me I am a military veteran and have recently retired from a well respected 30 year career in the security industry. I have suffered over the years from severe chronic PTSD and I have gone through the long process of finding my balance and overcoming my challenges. Now I have changed my focus and motivation towards my family and helping others who have PTSD and challenges find their balance. I hope this book will give each of its readers new hope.
