The newly published work gives readers a glimpse into the life of a real PTSD survivor and the journey he took to create a new life and a successful career after recovering. Written in a conversational style that would appeal to any reader, the book also offers his thoughts on a variety of topics, such as spirituality and the changes brought about by the pandemic.
The book opens with Mr. Porter addressing the question of what makes him qualified to offer advice. He then reveals the various points in his life where he experienced trauma, beginning with his first encounter with it as a child living with an abusive father.
He also recalls the times when he was bullied as a teenager and his first attempts to find direction in life. “At a young age, I decided that joining the British Forces would set me right,” he wrote, adding that the injustice his mother experienced became a motivating factor to becoming a soldier.
Apart from the details of his life in the military and the events that led to his PTSD, he also reflects on recent events that mirror his story of recovery and transformation. In his preface, he offers a message of hope, stating that people are starting to realize the possibilities of a more compassionate and loving world as a result of the pandemic.
“This transition we are experiencing is the death of an old way of living. And with death comes rebirth,” he said.
On Amazon, Using Trauma to Thrive was warmly received by readers. “This book is an amazing resource for anyone to read who has experienced trauma and is taking the steps to heal,” said one reviewer. “I started to see a whole new perspective and process things I had pushed away for so long. Looking forward to attending his courses,” another wrote.
