Dr. Croft is also including a list of books and other resources he recommends. Your book might be a good candidate for that list. I will pass your information along to him. Karen,

My narrative nonfiction/memoir details the journey my father and I took when more than 60 years after his service during WWII, he began having flashbacks and nightmares. And yes, he refused to seek any help at all. The wonderful and amazing part is actually the end of the book. And I'm not sure I want to give it away here. But what we did caused his PTSD symptoms to be completely gone for an entire year. I'd love to talk with this man. Too bad he isn't going to give credit for stories, as I would love to have that for networking/marketing purposes. Still, if it helps a veteran, I'm all for it. Thank you for this information!

They should be able to refer you to affordable treatment. You can also search online. In researching this book, I'm finding lots of information about PTSD. However, I can't offer you much help because I'm specifically focusing on PTSD in combat veterans so haven't followed up on anything else. I have a Google alert for PTSD and get tons of links every day. You might search for "PTSD treatment in southern California." Also look into programs that help victims of abuse—you may get some help there, not necessarily financial, but maybe referrals to agencies that can help you. Who diagnosed you with PTSD? Did you ask them for referrals for affordable treatment? Working with the psychiatrist on this book has convinced me that early treatment is critical. Many of the Vietnam veterans have suffered with this untreated disorder for decades, and their lives have been terribly and severely impacted. Please find help now. It may take some effort on your part to find the help, but I know you can find it if you don't give up. David,

I'm a freshman in college and am suffering from PTSD from an abusive relationship, and want to find someone to help me get through it. Is it expensive? I have no money and neither does anyone who would be willing to help! How much does treatment for PTSD cost in Southern California?
