Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an extremely debilitating anxiety condition that can occur after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal. Although many know that this mental health issue affects veterans of war, many may not know that it also affects victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, natural disasters, crime, car accidents and accidents in the workplace. No matter the cause of their illness, people with PTSD will often relive their traumatic experience in the form of flashbacks, memories, nightmares, and frightening thoughts. This is especially true when they are exposed to events or objects that remind them of their trauma. Left untreated, PTSD can lead to emotional numbness, insomnia, addiction, anxiety, depression, and even suicide. In The PTSD Workbook, Second Edition, psychologists and trauma experts Mary Beth Williams and Soili Poijula outline techniques and interventions used by PTSD experts from around the world to offer trauma survivors the most effective tools available to conquer their most distressing trauma-related symptoms, whether they are a veteran, a rape survivor, or a crime victim. Based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the 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. This book is designed to arm PTSD survivors with the emotional resilience they need to get their lives back together after a traumatic event.

Tired of suffering in silence? Yearning to take charge of your life? Ready to say “f*ck you” to PTSD—or whatever it is you’re struggling with—and try something radically different? In F*ck You PTSD, trauma-informed wellness expert Angela Davey takes the “woo-woo” out of alternative healing practices to help readers move through mental health challenges, heal invisible wounds, and achieve a greater state of well-being. With remarkable candor and refreshing pragmatism, Davey details her own mental health struggles, as well as the wellness journey of her husband, a police officer with PTSD. Clarity, accessibility, and reader autonomy are top priorities in the presentation of these thirty recommended healing practices, which include reiki, grounding, breathwork, sleep, mindfulness, and more. Davey refuses to sugarcoat: "Some of this stuff is going to sound strange or hokey. Some of it you will scoff at. Some of it you will decide to try because ‘why not’? ALL of it has the potential to help you get better. You’re in charge.” And with that first acknowledgement, you’ve already begun. Read on for some necessary real-talk, entertaining profanity, and the tools and encouragement you need to reclaim your power and kick PTSD to the curb.

It is difficult not to be emotionally involved in this human realm since emotions are a critical part of this planet. You already know the best way not to experience trauma: Remain in your heart source. Trauma begins in your life when you come into your physical body before birth. Trauma is held in your body even before your soul enters it. Because trauma affects your energy bodies, typical psychological therapy — cognitive or behavioral — does not cure those effects. Trauma must be addressed in layers that include all your bodies, energetic and physical. This is why resolving trauma takes much time. On the emotional level, you begin to doubt who you are. You might experience anxiety or depression and forget who you are. You worry about what is going to happen in life and whether things will ever get better. What does that do? It causes problems on the emotional and the spiritual levels because you forget the marvelousness of who you are. Your happiness and contentment come from within. It does not depend on your situation. After experiencing a trauma, everything has changed, and you have to find the new you. What you believe about yourself is going to assist your recovery. If you believe you are only useful if you can walk and now you can no longer walk, your life loses its meaning based on your beliefs. You need new beliefs. Focus on yourself during this healing process. You are the most important individual in this whole practice. When you do this for yourself, your healing affects others, increasing the light in the world.

"A much-needed guidebook . . . a treasure chest of insights." — Caroline Myss, M.D. "[A] brilliant new work . . . profound healing advice." — Brian L. Weiss, M.D.Many of us grapple with how to stay happy, calm, and focused in a world that seems to get more complex by the minute. How do we keep our wits about us, our mood stable, and our memory intact when our brains and bodies are bombarded with information and influences from every side? This one-of-a-kind resource combines cutting-edge science with compassion and wisdom to offer answers we can really use.Heal Your Mind continues the three-pronged healing approach that Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz and Louise Hay pioneered together in All Is Well: Heal Your Body with Medicine, Affirmations, and Intuition. Here, it’s applied to aspects of the mind ranging from depression, anxiety, and addiction to memory, learning, and even mystical states. You’ll learn what’s going on in your brain and body when you feel sad, angry, or panicked; you have trouble focusing, reading, or remembering; a past trauma is clouding your mind in the present; and more. And in each chapter, you’ll get a "virtual healing experience" through case studies in the All Is Well Clinic, where Dr. Mona Lisa uses medical intuition to pinpoint issues in a wide range of prototypical client histories and she and Louise offer solutions and affirmations to help restore well-being. Today, we tend to think our minds and bodies need an endless array of expensive, ever-changing pharmaceutical interventions. In truth, medicines are just one approach to healing the mind; nutritional supplements also support mind-body health; and affirmations restore us to balance by changing the way we think.Heal Your Mind puts all these tools at your disposal to help you choose your own path.

There is a growing awareness that the body as well as the mind needs to be involved in therapy. Neuroscience and attachment theories have clearly demonstrated that emotion is a physiological as well as a mental phenomenon. Dr. Dayton's approach to experiential work has been in the forefront of what is now so commonly in use in treatment centers that it has become mainstream. Used in treating relational trauma and PTSD, neuropsychodrama is designed to be easily incorporated into existing programs regardless of length of stay, and can be used in outpatient settings, group and one-to-one practices. Additionally, she has created a model of treatment called Relational Trauma Repair, RTR which is a multi-sensory model used in the treatment of relational trauma issues. Neuropsychodrama in the Treatment of Relational Trauma provides education woven into a healing, interactive "experience." It will mobilize, engage, bond and motivate groups through a process that is interactional and relational and progressively imparts skills of emotional literacy and emotional regulation.
