Continuing Actions: A Warrior's Guide to Coming Home

Self-help book for veterans who wouldn't be caught dead reading a self-help book.Psychologists, non-profits, and the VA all stand ready to help a returning veteran cope with PTSD and Moral Injury. But they can't--not until that veteran stops pretending they're fine.That's what Continuing Actions is all about.Using the language of squad bays, ready rooms, and firefights, former Marine Cobra pilot and special operations forward air controller Dan Sheehan provides a no-BS guide to navigating the challenges of coming home. Not every veteran needs a counsellor, but every veteran needs a basic understanding of how healthy humans deal with trauma to help themselves and their buddies.With a foreword by Dr. Jonathan Shay, MD, PhD, bestselling author and rockstar of the VA mental health world, Continuing Actions provides insight into the inevitable challenges of coming home--and what veterans can do to help themselves, their comrades, and their families emerge whole, strong, and healthy on the other side.Gold Medal 2015 Nautilus Awards, "Personal Growth" categoryBronze Medal Winner: 2016 IPPY Awards, "Psychology" category
