   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.

   4.0 out of 5 stars Great content but very text heavy

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

   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.

   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.

   This is a good reference book. I used it in putting together a presentation on PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). The book is easy to read and covers how to continue with your life after a traumatic incident happens to your or someone else.

   I was pleasantly surprized at how practical, user friendly and up-to-date this manual was. I haven't finished it yet, but have already started using it with a teen and an adult.

   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.
