Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an extremely debilitating
condition that can occur after exposure to a terrifying event. But
whether you're a veteran of war, a victim of domestic violence or
sexual violence, or have been involved in a natural disaster,
crime, car accident, or accident in the workplace, your symptoms
may be getting in the way of you living your life. PTSD can often
cause you to relive your traumatic experience in the form of
flashbacks, memories, nightmares, and frightening thoughts. This is
especially true when you are exposed to events or objects that
remind you of your trauma. Left untreated, PTSD can lead to
emotional numbness, insomnia, addiction, anxiety, depression, and
even suicide. So, how can you start to heal and get your life back?
In The PTSD Workbook, Third Edition, psychologists and trauma
experts Mary Beth Williams and Soili Poijula outline techniques and
interventions used by PTSD experts from around the world to conquer
distressing trauma-related symptoms. In this fully revised and
updated workbook, you'll learn how to move past the trauma you've
experienced and manage symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, and
flashbacks. Based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this book
is extremely accessible and easy-to-use, offering evidence-based
therapy at a low cost. This new edition features chapters focusing
on veterans with PTSD, the link between cortisol and adrenaline and
its role in PTSD and overall mental health, and the mind-body
component of PTSD. Clinicians will also find important updates
reflecting the new DSM-V definition of PTSD. This book is designed
to give you the emotional resilience you need to get your life back
together after a traumatic event.
