My congratulations on the Survival Guide.  I think that it is quite outstanding, and for my welfare and clinical staff a really helpful insight into many of the things which they encounter as they go about their work.  I will commend this work to anyone who shows more than a passing concern in the issues which you raise.

I don't think I will ever be able to put into words what this Guide means to me, it has changed my life.  from the moment I first read  a few pages, to now, reading it in its entirety.

Watching one's child suffering PTSD is a heartbreaking experience.  It made me feel totally inadequate as a mother as I could not take away the pain, fear, hurt, anger etc of my child.  I also believed this anger was directed at me personally and found it difficult to understand.  The Survival Guide gave me, in words that I can understand, a greater knowledge of PTSD, showing me how to HELP MYSELF deal with PTSD and therefore help and support my child.
