Book Reviews of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook
Book Review: There is Hope
Summary: 5 Stars
I was abused sexually (and in other ways) throughout my childhood within my home and by multiple offenders. I experienced the impact of PTSD from a very early age, but it mostly went untreated until I was in my early 20's and understood what PTSD was. This book has a very in-depth and comprehensive understanding of the symptoms of PTSD, what causes PTSD and has a sensitive introduction to many aspects of healing and healing options from PTSD caused by many traumas (including sexual child abuse, rape, and violence). This is a very balanced book that talks comprehensively about depression, anxiety, dissociation, triggers, intimacy and everything that happens to survivors of trauma. Over the years of my healing I have been able to turn to this book again and again.
The book talks about being a victim, survivor, thriver and helps trauma survivors to learn how to break free of the trauma and live a healthy life emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually.
Ultimately we will all find our own way to healing, but it always helps to be educated and to receive support. This book is very in-depth and well rounded with many healing options to consider such as writing about our traumatic experiences, and meditation to name just a few (many of these healing options were helpful to me). There is hope. I often go back to this book for support when difficult emotions such as anger, grief, or trauma triggers re-surface (sometimes reading it in the middle of the night when I can't sleep). I wish you all luck on your individual journeys to healing.
Summary of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook
For the millions who suffer from the effects of a traumatic experience, this book offers help and hope and provides the diverse elements needed for lasting recovery. Trauma can take many forms, from the most disturbing of circumstances such as witnessing a murder or violent crime to the subtle trauma of living with the effects of abuse or alcoholism. Deep emotional wounds often seem like they will never heal, but Schiraldi has helped and witnessed survivors recover, grow, and find happiness.By helping people recognize the coping mechanisms and by dealing directly with the effects of a traumatic experience, there is a great reason for hope. The Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Sourcebook is a guide for both survivors and their loved ones, helping them to see that on the other side of their pain is recovery and growth.
