This book seems to have been written as a catharsis for a person who has been through hell. But, the author's simple, straight-forward self analysis touches every person who reads it. Kendrick has found a way to express himself that is quite profound in its directness.

If you have ever had a question about how to gain better control of your life, this book is for you.

PTSD: Pathways Through the Secret Door is a fantastic book written by a "Joe" for "Joe's". It is written at the level any individual can understand. It is important to get the word out and educate individuals! When written by someone who has "worn the boots" so to speak, there is more of a chance military personnel will pick it up and read it and know they don't have to feel judged and alone because "someone else has been there too"-Patricia Curry, LCSW

This book is not just for those who suffer from PTSD; it is a great guide for anyone needing a little help working through negativity, fear and/or melancholy. While the author has no doubt seen horrific things, it is a comfort and inspiration to read such positive words of courage and triumph. Anyone who can function that well after such a level of trauma must know a little something about which they speak! Great tips for staying positive and not letting life get you down - I highly recommend reading this if you need a little reminder of those things from time to time.

PTSD Pathways Through the Secret Door is an absolute must read for ANYONE who suffers from PTSD. Timothy Kendrick touches every subject from fear, the subconscious mind, and depression, to creating a positive outcome including tools to find your own happiness. This book is the "real deal" written by a man who has suffered from PTSD, unlike most therapists that try to tell you how to cure something but have never actually been through it.

Two thumbs up and a big thank you to this wonderful new author!

As public and private recovery programs across the Nation become more accepting of Peer-led facilitation for Combat-related PTSD, this book is an important, first hand testimony of the power in recovery. The Writer has the bonafides to speak not just from a clinical perspective, but also a personal one. I would recommend this for not only Veterans that have chosen the path of recovery, but also friends, family members, and clinicians interested in a true insight into the issues that their loved ones might be encountering.
