About The Author

Don Shetterly

In 1991, Don Shetterly was paralyzed from a condition known as a “conversion disorder” for a short period of time. Since that time, he has spent many hours healing and recovering from the trauma and abuse he suffered as a child. Writing became therapy to Don and his book of poetry and writing, “A Journey Through Words” is about his own process in the journey to heal. One day, Don hopes to complete a book about the journey of his life which is a powerful story of triumph over insurmountable odds.

In October 2010, Don released his first full length book, “Hope And Possibility Through Trauma”. While it is not a full account of all Don has been through, it does start out with his story. His hope with this book is that it helps people realize that no matter what you have been through, there is hope and possibility through trauma.

Don is also the creator and writer for the Mind Body Thoughts blog, where he takes his experiences and applies them to our daily lives. The blog is about connecting the mind and the body together as one, pushing past all the things that hold us back in life.

Don Shetterly is also a recording artist and pianist who creates relaxing piano music from the heart. The creations are all his own, and are created in the moment as if a conversation from the heavens was taking place. The music can be found on Amazon by searching under Don’s name.

In addition, Don is a trauma therapist working to help others unlock the full potential in their minds and bodies. He has been doing massage-based body work since graduating from massage school in 2003, and now works closely with Dr. Paul Canali using the Unified Theory.

It is out of all these experiences, that the writing of Don Shetterly finds its source. Not only it is a healing journey for him, but it is a work of inspiration to others.
