“Arsenal of Hope by Jen Satterly and Holly Lorincz is above all, a love story. It's a love story that unfolds on two levels. On one level, it's the story of two people who love each other—a warrior and his 'warrior wife' who confront his demons together. Jen and Tom Satterly give readers a realistic and compelling narrative of a couple who learns to walk through the valleys together—when rage is the third party in the relationship. On another level, it is about the love that Tom and Jen Satterly feel for those in their tribe. This love is given voice in the beautiful vulnerability they display is sharing their story. Arsenal of Hope echoes with the universal truth that resilience is not about being an 'Army of One.' True resilience is about how we create interdependence and draw from the strength of those in our tribe. Arsenal of Hope is about how grit shows up when you commit yourself to the soul of another person, the ability to see through the fog of mental warfare into the heart of a warrior, and how those of us who support warriors can hold our center while fighting for those we love.” (from Amazon)

A guide that empowers family members combating post-traumatic stress on the home front, offering hope, purpose, and tangible solutions. This book provides definitions and real-life examples of complex PTSD and complex secondary PTSD (seen in a rapidly rising number of spouses and children), and the problems that arise when untreated. Arsenal of Hope aims to help soldiers, first responders, their families, and civilians with trauma—including those dealing with COVID-19 chaos or death. Jen Satterly is a certified coach and respected authority on PTSD, having been embedded with Special Operations during large scale military training missions and married to a Delta Force Command Sgt. Major. As a cofounder of a nonprofit for warriors and their families to heal after the trauma of war, her stories, research, realistic advice, and sometimes humor, are told through a military lens. Written with award-winning collaborative writer Holly Lorincz, Satterly uses her firsthand knowledge and medical expertise to deal with each issue. Most importantly, she illustrates how to change and create habits to circumvent the symptoms of post-traumatic stress.
