"This book provides hope for those who feel they are in a place of no choice. Dr. Dan shows you always have choices. Our actions or over reactions to issues of life are a choice. Dr. Dan explains how our emotions have to be kept in check. He states Trauma is when you have "can't". Similar to biblical counseling Dr. Dan provides hope. This is an excellent read for self help and those teaching or counseling others in trauma. in his masterful style of interpreting the scripture and use of psychological insight."

"Excellent! This book is easy to read yet insightful and profound. I recommended it to a friend experiencing career change trauma and she has not stopped talking about it and how it helped her. She recommends that the author coordinate support groups around the questions at the end of each chapter. Although as a Christian I have a special appreciation for the scriptural references and prayers at the end of each chapter the book is useful, helpful and accessible for everyone. "

"I have dealt with PTSD and dissociative issues for 30 years, and have read many, many books over the years .... including some very helpful ones. But THIS is the book that changed my life. The combination of scripture, practical insights, application suggestions and a warm, compassionate tone throughout make this book a balm to a hurting heart. I can't recommend it highly enough. "

"I am a Mexican communicator and anthropologist, I have read the book and I find it, eloquent, profound and simple to read. The title is excellent and the content is deep and simple. Also i have noticed that many Hispanics appreciatte the book. Dr. Collins makes and excellent work addressing the problem of trauma, that everybody can understand and identify with the situations. I really want to encourage the publishers to make the book available to other languages, such as Spanish. Here in US the Hispanic book market is big and in Latin America even bigger and I find that this book, perhaps in a secular version has a great potential as a bestseller among Hispanics. You may take my advise or let the market open for a book like this among my people! Gracias."

"This is the most excellent and helpful book I have read dealing with many issues relating to dealing with anxiety and fear following many circumstances in a persons life. The author makes very clear simple and sensible applications in helping people deal with feelings that can be very traumatic and disabling to people. I highly recommend this excellent book!"

- Alice VanRyn

"The Trauma Zone is filled with practical concepts and powerful truths (stuff you can actually use to move on). For example, Dr. Collins compassionately lets us know that "trauma can't tell time" in chapter 11. I could go on and on but I don't want to spoil it for anyone -- extremely helpful and greatly needed."
