The Apostle Paul and Post-Traumatic Stress: From Woundedness to WholenessIn a world of hurt, there is also a world of caring. How we respond, both in the getting and the giving, has great consequences. This is a book about reaching out. And in. We are all confronted with a challenge, since we are all going to take our turn in living through some life or death trauma: do we learn and evolve from it, or doom both ourselves and our children's children to recycling it? The Apostle Paul and Post Traumatic Stress deals with the Gospel account of the woundedness and healing of the great Apostle. In this unfolding story will be seen the anxiety, trauma, and stress so familiar not only to veterans but also to so many who suffer in similar ways. This book and the associated blog reflect the professional experiences of a pastor, pastoral counselor, social worker, and hospital chaplain. It also reflects their personal experiences with PTSD, as well. We are all bound together in many ways; certainly the anxiety surrounding a trauma is one of most common. We all face our ultimate physical departure, and it often is not peacefully surrounded by family. In our humanness we can be emotionally overwhelmed, and, even if surviving, re-experience the event. The effects of trauma are well known, and well experienced by many of us. There is, nevertheless, a counter reality that almost always comes along with the overwhelming anxiety: the love, care, and reaching out of others. In the Book of the Acts of Apostles it was first Ananias who reached out to the young Saul. Later it was Barnabas, and then others, Timothy's mother and grandmother among them. Their caring ultimately had an impact on the history of our human kind. You can feel it in this book. The traditional understanding was that Saul had been "converted." What we have learned about PTSD in the very recent past is somewhat different. He had a flashback, and out of that he had recognizable PTSD symptoms, but there was more. Out of some horrendous experience, which he could no longer deny, he now had an insight and an understanding that radicalized and transformed his life. It took a while, but the process was for the good, both for him and many others. The Apostle Paul and PTSD: (choose all) sick, weak, mentally ill, insulting, heresy, Why link a saint like Paul with a process like PTSD? This is an obvious question that any religious person would raise. The issue is not merely "truth," or "reality" in some abstract sense, really. For the individual who feels as if trapped in a bottle, the need is to set the suffering from the post traumatic in the broadest possible context. Equally obviously, Paul's life journey is a marvelous tale from this unique perspective. The stricken young Saul fallen on the wayside, the sheer wellness of the person expressed in the letter to the Romans, on to that final long struggle in chains demonstrating such renewable determination to live out his wholeness. Viewed from the perspective of process so much that is troubling about some things he says fall into place. Academically, Robert Collie's Doctor of Theology is in the field of Religion and the Personality Sciences. Professionally, he is a Diplomate® in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors. Personally, his experience with the post traumatic comes out of a face-to-fang encounter with a rattlesnake. Annelie Collie was born the first night the air raid sirens sounded in Wiesbaden. Most nights for the rest of the warshe was put to bed with her clothes on. The Church of Hessecertified her as a "Teacher of the Community" while shewas serving on the chaplaincy team of a teaching hospitaland on the clinical pastoral education team. After coming toAmerica she has served as a clinical social worker in mentalhealth settings. | COLLIE CONCEPT |
