To Hell, Back, and Beyond is an account of living with post-traumatic stress disorder. During therapy, the author developed a personal approach to managing his PTSD – an approach he uses every day and believes will be of benefit to others.
Don Mingo transparently shares his struggles dealing with years of trauma as a child growing up in Minnesota and as a missionary living in Africa for over 20 years. How does one coexist with this cumulative trauma? Understanding and living with PTSD challenged every aspect of his faith and being.
Don’s Boundaries, Accountability, Confession, Knowledge, and Sorrow (B.A.C.K.S.) approach is not meant to diagnose or replace any therapy or medication that you are currently undergoing to help with your condition. Instead, it offers camaraderie, transparent insight, prayer, and exercises to fully explore life with PTSD.
Don currently serves in Member Care to missionaries around the world. He holds several degrees, is a trained life coach, and carries several certifications in Fire/EMS/Police Chaplaincy.
Your traumatic experiences need not define you. They can instead propel you towards a greater purpose. This is his story of seeing PTSD as a gift rather than a curse to tolerate through life.

Excellent perspective on the many worn out, beat up, burned out pastors I've know and met over the years.

    Don spent twenty-two years with his wife, Kathy, serving orphan children and HIV-AIDS families in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.  Towards the last few years in South Africa, close friends and family noticed he was struggling with something. No one was quite sure.  So, with a return to the United States Don thought a change was all he needed.

    Upon returning to the United States in 2006, he continued to experience numerous struggles. Finally, he sought help and was diagnosed with PTSD.

    While Don is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, or mental health professional he does offer his journey in dealing with PTSD and managing it's daily affects.

    Don is a PTSD survivor, and Kathy is a survivor of childhood sexual & emotional abuse. They are both survivors of trauma, but prefer to refer to themselves as THRIVERS not survivors!

    Don's PTSD has taught him the value of living life rather than being driven through life!  He life coaches helping others find their heart niche for living; helping them move from where the are to where they want to be!  Please use the contact form, and Don will get back to you!

    Don currently pastors in northern Minnesota in a medium size congregation,  just a couple of hours from the Canadian border. Eh? 

    He enjoys wildlife & nature photography, his sons, grandkids, and coffee with Kathy

    He and Kathy are available for limited speaking engagements on PTSD, Marriage, Family Life, Abuse Recovery, and other life topics.
