Overview

Silent Scars, Bold Remedies: Cutting-Edge Care and Healing from Post-Traumatic Stress Injuries is a Pulitzer Prize-nominated book by Dino Garner and Liz Fetter, set for release on Veterans Day, 2025. This book directly confronts the invisible wounds of service, offering a new framework of hope and healing for U.S. military personnel and veterans. The book's central, powerful premise begins with its title. Garner deliberately reframes the condition from Post-Traumatic Stress ""Disorder"" (PTSD) to ""Post-Traumatic Stress Injuries"" (PTSX). This critical distinction is the cornerstone of the work, arguing that what servicemembers endure is not an incurable or inherent mental illness, but rather a profound, operational injury sustained in the line of duty. By redefining the problem, the Authors effectively dismantle the stigma that has long prevented warriors from seeking care, recasting their struggle as a treatable injury that demands innovative and effective solutions, not just management. Garner is uniquely qualified to helm this investigation, bringing a rare trifecta of expertise to the subject. As a former scientist, he approaches the topic with rigorous analytical depth, dissecting the complex physiology and neurology of trauma. As a former U.S. Army Ranger, he writes with the raw, authentic voice of one who understands the warrior ethos, the unique stressors of high-stakes operations, and the cultural barriers to vulnerability. Finally, as a New York Times bestselling author and editor, he masterfully weaves complex science and deeply human stories into a compelling, accessible, and powerful narrative. Fetter provides worldclass editorial and design expertise. The ""Bold Remedies"" of the title are the book's beating heart. Silent Scars, Bold Remedies moves far beyond traditional pharmaceutical-based treatments, which often only mask symptoms. Garner's research focuses on cutting-edge, non-pharmacologic interventions that empower the individual. The book explores the science behind advanced breathing protocols, neuromodulation, and specialized physiological techniques designed to heal the injury at its source, restoring nervous system regulation and building true resilience. This is not merely a technical manual; it is a testament to the human spirit. The book shares the profound journeys of servicemembers who have moved beyond simply surviving their trauma to achieve genuine ""post-traumatic growth."" Garner highlights stories of profound resilience, celebrating the strength of those who have navigated their healing and emerged with a renewed sense of purpose. Silent Scars, Bold Remedies serves as both a practical guide to the future of trauma care and a powerful message of hope, illuminating a path forward for all who bear the invisible wounds of service.
