In Bridging the Gap, Glen Williams takes readers on a police officer’s journey from optimistic rookie to jaded veteran and shares traumatic events he experienced and how they developed into PTSD.

He describes how he built walls to protect himself, stopped communicating, and how this led to two divorces. Glen then talks about how he relearned to open up, communicate openly and develop the good relationship he now lives in. Bridging the Gap gives ways to deal with and reduce stress and ways to take traumatic events and rephrase them so they can be shared safely, thus, bridging the gap in communication that has been created.
