Will You Listen?

by Kaitlyn Gant

When Kaitlyn Gant experiences calm and peace for the first time in her life, the devil tells her, "God has dismissed you." From that moment on, a profound darkness blankets Kaitlyn's life and mind for years. Lost memories of past horror and trauma begin to seep in, often through feelings, not images.

This book is a true story of despair, torment and shame. It is about finding faith, laughter and love through extreme fear, depression, terror and hopelessness. It's a story of life. It provides the reader an amazing experience of entering the mind of a truly suffering soul: A soul that is eventually rebuilt even though all prior coping defenses have been stripped away and awful truths are forever exposed.

This gripping story of survival propels the reader into the exploding topic of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It gives hope to others swallowed by the darkness. Her last triumphant words will long remain in the mind of the reader.

Review

Kaitlyn Gant is the author of Will You Listen? A True Story of Living with PTSD.

Kaitlyn has a Master's Degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology. She was previously the CEO of a small, national recruiting company that she and her husband, Antonio, founded over six years ago. During the mid 1990s through 2000, Kaitlyn was often a featured speaker at national conferences on the topics of relocation, recruitment, and retention.

But Kaitlyn is so much more than her professional resume.

For decades, Kaitlyn was able to keep her Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms in check. She mastered her denial. Kaitlyn solely focused on her career and put it above all else, thus enabling her to avoid her past.

As a child, Kaitlyn, suffered extreme trauma, horror, and abuse from as far back as she can remember until her teenage years. Kaitlyn and the people who know her well realize it was only by the grace of God that she lived to tell this story.

Since she also is diagnosed with Childhood Amnesia, it was easier to keep everything at bay for years. At least the memories were kept at bay … but the feelings, night terrors, and occasional flashbacks were always knocking. Later, when she found peace in her life, the past started to flood her mind, often claiming her will to live. This is when Kaitlyn's journey of reconciliation-with who she was, what happened, and who she is now-began.

Kaitlyn's ultimate goal is to give others a resource during their own battle with depression, PTSD, drug and alcohol abuse, etc., whether they are suffering from it themselves or know someone who is.

She hopes her work will show the importance of simply listening.
