Music Teacher Turned Author Shares Her Inspiring Story of Moving On from Trauma, TBI, and PTSD

Can you easily move on from the pain and trauma if you can’t remember anything? The answer is in Susie Guckin’s book entitled, The Camouflaged Heart.

Susie was once a victim of two car accidents when she was 20 years old. She never had serious physical injuries, but she had internal brain injuries that caused long-term memory loss that has not been recovered. She moved on from the tragic period, trying as best as she could to live a better life. She’s now willing to share her story of trauma, traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress with others.

The Camouflaged Heart details her journey of recognition, acceptance, education and courage to keep moving forward despite the challenges she faced. She hopes that it will inspire others who are experiencing the same fate as her to believe in one’s healing and recovery. She also hopes that through her experiences as a teacher and a volunteer, others will also be encouraged to seek out the right motivation and tools to aid in their own recovery.

Susie has this to say about her experiences as a teacher and volunteer,“My students were an antidote for me; they brought me joy that I wasn’t feeling anywhere else in my life…The soldiers have become my greatest teachers and my most loyal advocates. I can’t know where they have been, and they can’t know where I have been, but we have found common ground in the process of recovery.”

If you’re experiencing the darkest moments of your life because of trauma, then read what Susie has to say about the process of recovery. Or, if you know a loved one or a friend who has suffered from TBI, PTSD, or trauma, this story is for you.

The Camouflaged Heart will be featured during the 2015 California Library Association Book Fair. It will be held on November 3-5, 2015 in Pasadena, California. Meet the author, Susie Guckin, at the event and check out her new book.
