Reinventing Life

This memoir describes the author's discovery of Post -Traumatic Stress disorder after a 120mph accident that caused him to become suicidal.

He describes the experience and compares how he has experienced life before and how trauma altered his perceptions and reactions of family and community around him.

In his 'flooding moments' by the side of the road, he sees his life stream before his inner eye, only

this time the events are tainted by a filter that causes him to feel the pain and forget the way he was coping with life before the accident.

He meets a trauma counsellor who takes him step by step into healing by building new coping skills,

using Emotional Freedom Technique as one of several ways to rebuild his life from the brink of suicide.

Writing this memoir is part of the healing process.

He now wants to share his experience of reinventing life. With all who have suffered trauma .
