BOWIE, Md., April 8, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Michael D. Gatson, PhD, ACSW, an expert in military social work and licensed clinical psychotherapist who has dedicated his career to improving the lives of active military personnel and war veterans faced with PTSD, has completed his book "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep": an invaluable source of clarity and comfort for children of parents suffering from the psychological effects of trauma.
PTSD is an individual condition that has interpersonal effects. It explains triggers, avoidance behaviors, and safety behaviors unique to military personnel and war veterans and how to live with an individual affected by PTSD.
"Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" is a valuable age-appropriate resource that can encourage open and honest communication to help families deal with mental illness and remove the stigma of seeking help through therapy.
Dr. Gatson shares, "My goal is to impart hope, reassure a parent's love, and educate individuals about the importance of taking care of your mental health. Mental illness happens when we lose our presence in the present. Mental illness is something that is real, and it is something we do not talk about enough in our communities, families, and relationships. Let's have a voice and recognize when we need to seek out treatment."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Michael D. Gatson's book is a beautiful addition to any home, therapist office, or school library.
