Description
There
are some things people don’t get over easily — pain
from the past is one of them. Trauma changes people:
It changes values, priorities, worldviews, and
most of all…it changes how we relate to
others. Painful, life-threatening experiences
take people beyond the normal day-to-day life,
leaving them stuck behind defensive walls that
keep them from re-entering the world they have
always known as “home”. So how does
it happen? How do we lose the loving closeness
with those around us? And better yet, how do we
re-gain what pain has robbed us of?
Down
Range is not only a book explaining war
trauma — it is required reading for anyone
seriously interested about how to make healthy
transitions from war to peace. Bridget C. Cantrell,
Ph.D. and Vietnam veteran, Chuck Dean have joined
forces to present this vital information and resource
manual for both returning troops and their loved
ones. Here you will find answers, explanations,
and insights as to why so many combat veterans
suffer from flashbacks, depression, fits of rage,
nightmares, anxiety, emotional numbing, and other
troubling aspects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD).
