I Have PTSD: Reorienting after Trauma (Ask the Christian Counselor)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Counselor and trauma expert Curtis Solomon helps those who have suffered the disorienting effects of a traumatic experience to reorient their lives to the path God has for them.
Anyone who experiences a traumatic event feels confused, lost, out of control, unsure, and unsteady—disoriented. This kind of suffering leaves marks, sometimes on the body, always on the soul, and sometimes both. In I Have PTSD, Curtis Solomon helps both those who have suffered trauma, as well as their loved ones, to understand the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of trauma, while offering gospel hope and practical ways to make that hope real in their lives.
Trauma can come into our lives through any number of circumstances, but those circumstances do not derail the plans of God nor determine the trajectory for the rest of your life. God can and does utilize the most horrific suffering imaginable to accomplish his great plans for his people.
Practical, accessible, and concise guidance on PTSD, written by an experienced trauma expert and counselor.
Part of the Ask the Christian Counselor series, walking readers through their deepest and most profound questions.
Gives readers the tools to understand their struggle with PTSD and how the gospel brings hope and healing to post traumatic stress.
Compact format goes deeper than New Growth Press’s popular minibooks without overwhelming the reader.

The experience of trauma is not new for human beings—it is part of the human condition after the fall. Nevertheless, the modern age has greatly increased the opportunities and avenues of trauma. I’m thankful for Curtis Solomon and his good work in this book. You will be too.
—Al Mohler, President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
In this patient book for those struggling in trauma’s aftermath, Solomon’s wealth of experience with PTSD is constantly evident. It is realistic, rooted in Scripture, wise about physiology, full of case studies, and insightful about guilt, shame, and despair. I Have PTSD connects constantly back to the Lord and helps you construct a wise, holistic, and practical peace plan.
—Alasdair Groves, Executive Director, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF); coauthor of Untangling Emotions
I am so thankful for this book which addresses a specific but common form of trauma and does so in a way that is deeply grounded in Scripture. I am certain it will prove to be a blessing to those who have endured such trauma and to those who are seeking to minister to them.
—Tim Challies, Author of Seasons of Sorrow
