Overcoming Trauma and PTSD
Product ID: 503388092
Post-traumatic stress disorder affects every sufferer in a different way. A veteran who committed atrocities during war may not benefit from cognitive treatments in the same way a victim of sexual assault might. For each type of trauma, there is an appropriate type of treatment-and the best treatment may not lie entirely within one therapeutic modality. Written by a psychologist who specializes in trauma, this book combines the best of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). It offers the best skills for specific symptoms so readers get the quickest relief from flashbacks, insomnia, and other symptoms, and so will have the best chance of recovery. Review: Quite helpful - This book takes the time to explain facts and lay out step by step instructions for various scenarios. The worksheets are also quite helpful, but i feel the cost could be more reasonable. Review: Helpful lots of insight - gave me a better sense of the struggles I have. Was kind and thoughtful. Gives me hope that learning is key!

Clear and accessible
Excellent book. The tenets of ACT, CBT, and DBT are complex, and this book distills the active ingredients into manageable and understandable terms. The emotional regulation component for PTSD is especially useful. The worksheets and exercises are simple, and very effective. My Clients have stated that they have felt this book has been very helpful for them. I highly recommend this book for working with a Veteran population, and for those working with complex trauma.

great book for clients
This book is very well written and explains trauma and PTSD symptoms and effects. It a great book for clients to help explain their symptoms and reaction in ways they can relate to. I received a lot of information that i could write in a paper i needed for my masters program and it was very informative it gave plenty of examples to use in therapy.
