Trauma can turn your world upside down–afterward, nothing may look safe or familiar. This compassionate workbook has already helped tens of thousands of trauma survivors start rebuilding their lives. Full of practical strategies for coping and self-care, the book guides you toward reclaiming a solid sense of safety, self-worth, trust, and control, as well as the capacity to be close to others. The focus is on finding the way forward in your life today, no matter what has happened in the past. The updated second edition has a new section on managing emotions through mindfulness and an appendix on easing the stress of health care visits. Dozens of step-by-step questionnaires and exercises are included.

    If you have PTSD like me, most of it just states the obvious. My therapist much like the author's of this book are highly educated but haven't lived it. It includes up to date cognitive behavioral therapy. It increased my nightmares and flashbacks which my therapist described as "working things out". That being said it is one of the most up to date references, and because its a work book its more interactive, and I have heard that some other people have gotten good results from it. For the price, worth a try if it might help you.

    Great exercises but a lot of reading. Kind of overwhelming for where I am right now.

    šŸ’Utterly EXQUISITE, I can recommend this, BOTH as a Complex PTSD Survivor AND the 6th Mental Health & Addictions Peer Recovery Advocate certified in Ohio. Not even 30 pages in, I was experiencing new insights into Past, Present & Sentiment No Longer Functional Coping Mechanisms, privately, safely, WITHOUT needing to call for help, and ACTUALLY SLEEPING WELL after. šŸ’ā€ā™€ļøThe authors REPEATEDLY emphasize NOT moving forward, page to page, without feeling securely safe, giving readers permission to flow through the material at a more leisurely pace, without feeling lazy. šŸ†ESPECIALLY VALUABLE is the thorough way in which trauma is approached WITHOUT SPECIFYING CAUSES. A sister of mine who's home blew up due to a faulty furnace is as comforted as I, a sexual assault survivor. šŸ„°Working through this, I felt respected, intelligent, active, productive, and NOT Wounded. šŸŒ»My thanks to the authors for granting We Readers Dignity on every page.šŸŒ»

    As a survivor of sexual assault my therapist recommended this book, as it is one she uses in her sessions on a regular basis. I have found it very helpful as an air in therapy and my daily life. I HIGHLY recommend this book for ANYONE who has suffered a trauma of any kind.

    Book came in excellent condition. I am looking forward to utilizing this book that my therapist recommended. It appears to be very helpful and thought-provoking on many key issues that those of us that have suffered from traumatic events need to focus in on.

    Great read for me. I am still working on it. I suffer with PTSD and I am currently starting EMDR treatment and this book helps with being able to use a combination of reading and therapy. This book is a good read and also helpful for those who are on their journey and need a little bit of help on their own as well at home to help them when they're not in therapy. Overall, a book to help you become and learn to stay strong from what your individual trauma is. The workbook helps you and goes easily into things, in a gentle matter and doesn't rush into things. You work at your own pace and just take your time. No need to rush anything, especially with trauma. Gentle read and gentle approach. Definitely one of the good ones.

    This book is very well written and I actually look forward to reading my assignments out of it. There are very practical life-lessons to be learned from this book. The step by step processes and the insights are well worth any price. This book is great for teaching you to take care of yourself as those who have been traumatized in life usually have issue taking care of themselves. This book stands alone and is not a workbook in the sense that it goes along with another text. This is a book that you read and work in.

    Even though I haven't completed much of this pack, it's perfect for people in my commitment. I always need something to doodle on while the speaker is speaking. I think this is going to work out perfectly. My daughter has trouble staying still for very long and this workbook would give her something to do while the speaker was speaking.

    I am a therapist that specializes in trauma recovery. This book is a great comprehensive ersourec that addresses many of the issues that underlie traumatic responses. Many books focus on symptoms and skills, which this does, however also helps people address and look at foundation sources of such symptoms. Dr. D

    As a health care professional who treats trauma, ptsd,anxiety and mood disorders, I found this book helpful for the patient who can and wants to work through difficulties between sessions and is supported by a well trained therapist (psychologist) to do so. It is recommended among colleagues. I would not recommend it for someone as a self help book as the therapy needs to accompany such recovery and healing. Excellent exercises and explanations as to what a patient with trauma experiences is going through....well written and understandable. Highly recommend it.
