Post-Traumatic Faith
By: E. Jill Riley
E. Jill Riley is not a good victim. However, she is a triumphant survivor who has scars to prove that wounds do not have to stay open forever. An orphan who was adopted into a culture of chaos and ineffable abuse, Jill suffers from complex PTSD and dissociative identity disorder.
Follow her story from Seoul, Korea, to the deserts of Nevada and on to the beautiful North Idaho panhandle. Explore her life as a pastor in both new and established churches and then life as an inpatient in a psychiatric facility. Finally, walk with her as she discovers a newly imagined, full life of faith, despite severe mental illness.
As a minister and survivor Jill is uniquely positioned to be a leading voice in the intersection of mental health, faith, and the church.

It is a memoir by E. Jill Riley exploring her journey as an orphan, abuse survivor, and pastor living with complex PTSD and dissociative identity disorder (DID).
Jill is a minister and survivor who has served in both new and established churches and now advocates for the intersection of mental health and the church.
Yes. Jill shares her lived experience with DID and C-PTSD, including her time as an inpatient in a psychiatric facility and her path to a full life of faith.
No. While it is a vital resource for those with mental illness, it is also for pastors, church leaders, and seekers looking to understand how faith survives severe trauma.
The narrative follows Jill’s journey from Seoul, Korea, to the Nevada deserts, and finally to the North Idaho panhandle.
Jill provides a leading voice on how the church can better support survivors, moving past "victim" narratives toward triumphant survival and imagined faith.
The book’s core message is that a full life of faith is possible even while managing chronic mental health conditions like C-PTSD.
As both a survivor of ineffable abuse and a trained pastor, she bridges the gap between theological scholarship and the reality of psychiatric recovery.
It is a story of scars and "wounds that do not stay open," focusing on discovery and a newly imagined life rather than a simple medical cure.
The book is available on Amazon and through major retailers: https://www.amazon.com/Post-Traumatic-Faith-Jill-Riley/dp/1666777889.
