On August 12th, 1996, Dylan Sessler found himself facing the hardest moment of his life at just six years old. The unexpected trauma of loss broke the innocent nature of his childhood and left behind an unending storm of confusion, pain, and hard truths in its wake. Defy the Darkness is a raw account of how Dylan processed his way through his trauma and offers guidance on how others can do the same. From depression and PTSD to grief and suicide, this audiobook dives headfirst into the taboo nature of mental health and delivers a path forward that few have been able to describe.

Reviewed: 10-08-21
I myself suffer from complex post traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) cause of child hood trauma of sexual abuse, mental abuse, physical abuse, virbul abuse. On top of that I was bullied at school cause I was the only bi-racial kid in my at the time school. After years of trauma I joined the United States Marine Corps in 1999 while America was somewhat was at peaceful times. Then 09/11/2001. So now with all my Complex PTSD from my childhood that I haven't dealt with, now you throw in combat related PTSD into the mix. I'm in really good therapy right now. But with your book, it has opened up so much to me and has given me a better out look. My wife started following you and pointed you out to me and your book. thank so every much for what you have done. You are truly a warrior in every aspect of the word
