Synopsis

Those affected by complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) commonly feel as though there is something fundamentally wrong with them - that somewhere inside there is a part of them that needs to be fixed. Though untrue, such beliefs can feel extremely real and frightening. Difficult as it may be, facing one’s PTSD from unresolved childhood trauma is a brave, courageous act, and with the right guidance, healing from PTSD is possible. Clinical psychologist Dr. Arielle Schwartz has spent years helping those with complex PTSD - also referred to as C-PTSD - find their way to wholeness. She also knows the territory of the healing firsthand, having walked it herself. This audiobook provides a map to the complicated, and often overwhelming, terrain of C-PTSD with Dr. Schwartz’s knowledgeable guidance helping you find your way. In The Complex PTSD Workbook, you’ll learn all about C-PTSD and gain valuable insight into the types of symptoms associated with unresolved childhood trauma, while applying a strength-based perspective to integrate positive beliefs and behaviors. Features of The Complex PTSD Workbook include: Information about common PTSD misdiagnoses such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder, and substance abuse, among others. Explorations of common methods of PTSD therapy including somatic therapy, EMDR, CBT, DBT, and mind-body perspectives. Chapter takeaways that encourage thoughtful consideration and writing to explore how you feel as you review the material presented in relation to your PTSD symptoms. The Complex PTSD Workbook aims to empower you with a thorough understanding of the psychology and physiology of C-PTSD, so you can make informed choices about the path to healing that is right for you and discover a life of wellness free of C-PTSD that used to seem just out of reach.This audiobook was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont. ©2016 Althea Press (P)

Goodreads review by Lindsay on June 04, 2017

This isn't a workbook for recovery, it's more of a workbook for figuring out which form of therapy you want to try with a therapist. It's a good starting off point, but if you're looking for a true workbook or a therapy substitute this falls short. If you're just learning about PTSD or C-PTSD this b......more

Goodreads review by Gina on May 10, 2021

It felt a little basic to me, which is good because it can be a good starting place for someone who is pretty well functional. However, there was a lot of emphasis on needing to get into therapy, which seemed incongruous with writing the workbook. If it were a workbook on knowing if you should go to......more

Goodreads review by Shelley on April 14, 2019

Good resource. Matter of fact tone, cut and dried approach. Will appeal to emotionally detached or avoidant people who don't want to go into much detail about what happened, who just want to know what to do about it.........more

In many ways, the best book I have ever read. And the first book I’ve “worked with”. I feel like a lot of healing has been accomplished and I am ready for more.......more

Goodreads review by Anna on June 02, 2020

As a therapist, most of this book wasn't groundbreaking or life changing. It goes through many aspects of complex PTSD treatment in slow, calming ways and gives the reader opportunities to write about and process emotions and experiences. For me, this book was helpful because of all the theories and......more
