“Reinventing Life: My Journey into PTSD and Back” by Ilmarinen G.  Vogel was featured at the 2024 Frankfurt International Book Fair

Studio of Books proudly showcased Ilmarinen G. Vogel’s book, “Reinventing Life: My Journey into PTSD and Back”, at the prestigious 2024 Frankfurt International Book Fair, held from October 16 to 20 in Frankfurt, Germany.

The Frankfurter Buchmesse is a celebration of global cultures, stories, and creativity. It attracts over 215,000 attendees and 4,000 exhibitors from over 130 countries each year, fostering a vibrant atmosphere where connections are formed, ideas are brought to life, and innovation flourishes. It has been the beating heart of the publishing industry for more than 70 years, uniting voices from all over the world.

The Frankfurt Book Fair provided an opportunity for outstanding books to shine this year. Both readers and publishing industry leaders were drawn to these pieces because of their compelling themes and distinctive viewpoints. They prompted discussions, inspired new perspectives, and served as a reminder of the broad appeal of storytelling.

“Reinventing Life: My Journey into PTSD and Back” by Ilmarinen G. Vogel is a raw and inspiring memoir that chronicles the author’s battle with trauma and his journey toward healing. Following a harrowing 120mph accident that left him grappling with suicidal thoughts, Vogel discovered the profound impact of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder on his life.

The memoir vividly captures the stark contrast between his pre-trauma existence and the altered perceptions, reactions, and emotional pain that followed. In gripping detail, he recounts moments of overwhelming despair, such as his “flooding moments” by the side of the road, where painful memories and emotions overshadowed his previous coping mechanisms.

Vogel’s path to recovery begins with the guidance of a trauma counselor who introduces him to tools like Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), helping him rebuild his life step by step. Through courage and resilience, he transforms from a person on the brink of despair to someone determined to share his story as part of the healing process.

Reinventing Life is not only a testament to the power of hope and perseverance but also a message of solidarity and encouragement for anyone who has suffered from trauma, offering insights into the possibility of healing and renewal.
