Suzanne Grosser
The only thing I ever wanted to be when I grew up was a writer. (Except for a brief period when I was three years old and decided I would be a fire fighter because I really wanted to drive that fire engine.) My parents read to me every day. Children's books, of course. But poetry and bits of the classics, too. Story time was my favorite part of the day. Left alone to play, I enacted elaborate dramas with my stuffed animals. I told my dolls stories while I jumped on my bed. For some reason, the plot lines flowed better when I was jumping. (For the record I no longer do this. My knees are not as forgiving as they used to be.) When I was five, I was so obsessed with stories, that I was even willing to give up my play time to go to school. My parents promised I would learn to read, so it seemed a fair deal. My plan was simple. Once I could read, I would not have to wait for someone else to read to me. Best of all, I could learn anything I needed or wanted to know. I figured I would not even have to go to school anymore. Brilliant! That is when I learned that life does always follow your plan.

Introduction
You are a survivor.
You are strong and resilient. You made it through that awful time. But now, you are not quite where you want to be. You are making it, but just barely. And you know it can’t go on like this much longer.
You need help.
Trauma changes how you see the world. But it doesn’t have to change who you are. You are in charge of your healing. You know what is wrong. You know what you want. You have the power to do this. But you don’t have to do it alone.
This book is where you start. Here you will find links to resources of all kinds. Each PTSD sufferer has a unique combination of symptoms. There are different needs and access to resources. I have put together this book to cover as many geographic locations, trauma types, and personal situations as possible. I have included advice on finding resources locally and online. There is help here for all ages. Best of all, many of these contacts are free.
Be prepared:
You will ask for help and hear no.
You will be offered help that doesn’t feel right.
You will be offered help that starts out great, but doesn’t take you quite as far as you need to go.
The key to healing trauma is not to quit. It won’t always be easy. But you are worth it.
You are a survivor. And survivors don’t quit.
Treating PTSD
There is no one correct way to treat PTSD.
