Overview

Warrior Rising is a very personal and inspirational story of LCol Chris Linford�s road to a diagnosis of PTSD after three operational deployments to the Gulf War, Rwanda, and Kandahar Afghanistan. He recounts his associated war stories, but it was the trauma�s that impacted him so dramatically leading him to what he describes as the very edge of his personal and professional competence. Finally years later and after months of effective treatment he discovered new ways to improve his health further and has since become involved in peer counceling and ongoing support to veterans who need assistance. LCol Linford remains disappointed that PTSD is still being kept in the shadows worsening the stigma surrounding it; it�s time to talk about the eight hundred pound elephant in the room! LCol Linford through this book addresses that elephant.

About the Author

LCol Chris Linford has served 24 years in the Canadian Forces Health Services and is due to medically release in 2013. On his first two missions he served as a Nursing Officer witnessing first hand the terrible trauma�s endured in modern war zones. As a Health Care Administrator in Afghanistan at the NATO Role 3 Combat Surgical Hospital in Kandahar from 2009- 2010, he witnessed the aftermath of deadly improvised explosive devices (IED) that either killed or severely maimed friendly troops. This experience led him one more time to the depths of severe PTSD. His year and a half long treatment post deployment was one of the toughest experiences of his life, but he learned during this experience that his new calling and passion was to speak publicly and write about his experiences providing others the opportunity to follow his lead in getting back to good health to once again enjoy life and their loved ones.
