Since my aim in having this web site is to keep other people from having to go through what Bob and I went through when PTSD didn’t have a name and was not supposed to exist, I want people to have access to this information without having to buy anything.

These free samples should help you get started on the road to recovery.

If you find them helpful, please buy something from the bookstore or make a donation. This is a one person operation and is rather an unintended non-profit, so any help is welcome.
