Review of The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy
Posted: 27 Jun 2021, 17:02
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy" by H. Nattanya Andersen.]
The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy by H. Nattanya Andersen is an educational book about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) fallacies, the dire effects on an individual, and the common misconceptions that most people, including the so-called professionals, have on the condition. The book starts with a near-death experience Nattanya Andersen encountered when working as a flight attendant in a major airline and how her struggle with PTSD began. The author thoroughly explains what a person with PTSD goes through and even states that no human being can understand what a person living with PTSD is going through if they have not been through it.
Nattanya Andersen immerses the readers in a PTSD background explanation of what a PTSD patient goes through. The book was indeed an eye-opener. For instance, it is sad and ironic how people living with PTSD feel helpless and alone inside in a world full of ‘the loved ones,’ which aggravates the suffering, thinking that they are helping ease the situation. The author states that most PTSD victims crave isolation, but unfortunately, most of their loved ones deny them the isolation and hence end up missing the peace needed to heal. It's sad how our ignorance could end up hurting our loved ones while thinking that we are helping them.
I also loved how the author quotes the experts in the field, such as James T. Webb, Ph.D., and Dabrowski, especially in her explanation of disintegration theory. This leaves the reader with a comprehensive knowledge of PTSD conditions and gives the book even more credibility, making it enjoyable to read. I can't believe how ignorant I was about the subject.
Generally, the book was both exciting and enjoyable. I would recommend it to readers who love mental health and PTSD books. Someone going through post-traumatic stress disorder or a loved one going through the condition will also find the book helpful. It may just help save a life.
I would rate the book 4 out of 4 stars because it was exceptionally well-edited, enjoyable, and educational. I also didn't find anything negative in the book. I am not a PTSD victim, but the insights I got after going through the book blew my mind. Luckily after reading this copy, I am more confident, besides knowing better. To sum up, I’ll be sure to keep an eye on the author for more similar books. She is quite an incredible writer.
