Summary: When you're seeking to make a change in life there's more than one way to do it! Today on CHANGING DIRECTION I interviewed a man who went the traditional and not so traditional route to change his direction.... One Veteran’s Heroic Journey From Vietnam to PTSD Recovery Daryl J. Eigen, PhD, is a Vietnam combat veteran, a business innovator, and yoga teacher who has written a book that will give veterans everywhere support. In ‘A Hellish Place of Angels’ Daryl talks about his heroic journey through Vietnam to his equally heroic work at healing his own PTSD. This is a must read for anyone who works with trauma, or who wants to know what our troops went through and how one man found a way to conquer the past and create a new future. Daryl served honorably in Vietnam from 1966 to 1967 in the Marine Corps’ 3/26 and 2/9 combat infantry battalions. He was awarded 3 Purple Hearts and fought in over a dozen operations against enemy forces in and around the DMZ. He received BA and MS degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a Ph.D in Engineering from Northwestern University and a MArom Sofia University. Daryl lives in Portland, Oregon with his lovely wife Lucy. He is the proud father of Tony and Molly and grandfather to Amelia, Sophia, and Zoe.
