    POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER: THE SILENT EPIDEMIC

    (WESTMINSTER, MA)?J.L. Vallee is among the hundreds of thousands of people who have experienced trauma in their lives, resulting in devastating, life-long effects.  

    Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened.  

    Vallee's book, Severed Soul: One Woman's Journey through Post Traumatic Stress, vividly depicts trauma in its varied forms.

    This is a survival story about how PTSD, once thought to be a condition suffered only by soldiers brutalized and ravaged by war, can affect men and women who have found themselves in traumatic situations.

    People who are in abusive relationships are just as likely to suffer from PTSD as soldiers are, according to studies released by the National Institute of Mental Health.

    In detail, Ms. Vallee describes her experience of dealing with PTSD. She explains what it was like to live everyday in a hell, consumed by real fear and irrational fear. "Between the trauma from car accidents, emotional abuse, and death?" Severed Soul will take you into the world of PTSD.

    PTSD is as real as cancer, and it has no prejudice when it comes to age, race, gender or economic status.

    "Severed Soul will lead you through the feelings of personal anguish and fear that live within a person suffering from PTSD," Ms. Vallee explains. "This story is told in an unusual and unique way, though it is an easy and informative read."

    The author states how PTSD can be caused as a result of many life-altering episodes, including:
    ?Emotional abuse
    ?Natural disasters
    ?Catastrophic accidents
    ?Violent sexual or physical assault
    ?War
    ?Terrorism
    ?Kidnapping

    Harrowing and dynamic in its detail, Ms. Vallee's book has opened up a whole new way of looking at the darker side of being human, and offers a lifeline to countless numbers of people out in the world who are living in fear and without hope.

    "This book will educate those with a loved one who suffers from PTSD, and will give hope to those who have experienced trauma," says Ms. Vallee. "I want people to know they are not alone, and that help is out there for those who suffer."

    J.L. Vallee resides in central New England and is currently attending Mount Wachusett Community College in the legal studies program. She is an advocate for battered women and veterans.
