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.

    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.

    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.

    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
