If you have been shot at, faced with sudden loss, blown up, screwed over (or in my case, screwed), this book is for you. I like to think of it as duct tape for the soul."<br /> --Dr. John A. King</p><p>#dealwithit is the honest, raw, not-safe-for-work account of Dr. John A. King trying to piece his life back together, move forward and thrive after the spontaneous recall of over a decade of childhood sexual abuse by his parents and their friends. This recall event, or John-A-Geddon, was followed by the immediate onset of Complex Post Traumatic Stress, which led to the loss of his marriage, career and health. This book shares John's gritty process of rebuilding his life. On his journey, you'll find practical tools, unlikely mentors and his trademark Aussie sarcasm.</p><p><br /> #dealwithit is the perfect book for anyone who is getting up to go again, or is in the middle of the fight and just needs to hear, "You can make it."</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I was transported into feeling the torture innocent souls suffer from sexual exploitation. One can never fully understand the individual's permanent damage, but Dr. King guides us to be educated and united to become the change we need to see." --JEANNIE MAI - TV Personality & Host of "The Real"</p><p>"It's f*cking brilliant! " --Kathysue Dorey, <em>Creative Leadership Facilitator and Speaker</em></p><p>"[Dr. King's] honesty is rare in this field, and it's nice to get a vibe that you are talking to a real person--he puts his story out there very candidly. <em>#dealwithit</em> explains very complex concepts very simply. It has a good voice and an easy flow, which make a relatively quick read. If you are interested in dealing with your own PTSD, or just in the topic in general, I highly recommend this book." --Jason Walter, <em>Venthouse Counseling</em></p><p>"I thought I dealt with a lot of my issues and anxieties when I got out, but I hadn't. Reading this book has encouraged me to get on with the recovery process in my life--to stop procrastinating, and just deal with it and move forward. It's long overdue for me." --Lcpl Xavier W. Webb, <em>U.S. Marine</em></p><p>"This book is incredible for anyone who doesn't know what Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is, or what it's like to live with PTSD. There are passages that will have you laughing, then others that will pull emotion from you...I was diagnosed in 2017, and I really couldn't be happier having found this book." --Matthew Heneghan, <em>Canadian Armed Forces Medic</em></p><p>"Accessible, relatable...the candor and humor allowed me to access parts of myself that I wouldn't have been able to if it were written from a clinical standpoint. <em>#dealwithit</em> breaks through the stigma, that separation that [trauma sufferers] often experience. It makes them feel like they are not alone, and others understand what they are going through. I firmly believe in our ability to self-heal, and this book is definitely a methodology to make that happen." --Rick Scarpello, <em>This is Men's Therapy</em></p><p>"This book is amazing even if you aren't struggling with PTSD. If you know someone who is...it gave me so much empathy that I don't think I would have been capable of getting to on my own. It opened my eyes and...gave me the tools to cope as someone on the outside watching [PTSD] happen to someone else. You also don't have to have a doctorate in psychology to understand this book. It's very well done, very intelligently written and so practical." --Amber Courtot, <em>Photographer</em></p><br>
