Although many people who have survived trauma, abuse, and
violent situations understand on a logical level that the traumatic
events they experienced were not their fault, shame may still
underlie their feelings and fuel post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD) and other trauma-related psychological difficulties. For
example, women who are victims of domestic abuse are often so
paralyzed with the stigma of shame associated with their abuse,
they don't seek help. The Compassionate-Mind Guide to Recovering
from Trauma and PTSD helps readers reduce the sense of threat they
constantly feel and develop a fuller understanding of their
reactions to trauma by cultivating compassion for themselves and
others. The practical exercises based in compassion-focused therapy
(CFT) that are offered in this book help readers gradually confront
and overcome trauma-related behaviors. This approach invites
readers who have undergone a traumatic experience to develop
compassion for themselves and others, a sense of safety, and the
ability to self-soothe when difficult memories or emotions arise.
Written by an international expert on PTSD treatment, this book
will prove to be an essential resource for therapists specializing
in the treatment of trauma and anyone in the process of healing
from a traumatic experience.
