Recovery from Complex PTSD: From Trauma to Regaining Self Through Mindfulness & Emotional Regulation Exercises

Product Description

Are you suffering from chronic anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or uncontrollable emotions?
Although PTSD affects 7-8% of people in the world, it remains a relatively taboo subject. When people do talk about it, it’s usually restricted to war veterans and victims of child abuse.
The truth is, PTSD can manifest in response to any kind of trauma — but what does this mean for people who have been repeatedly subjected to traumatic events?
Recent research has shown that it is possible to recover from nightmarish experiences and live a life that feels happy and secure.
You don’t have to resign yourself to jumping at shadows and enduring intrusive, negative thoughts that wear you down mentally and physically.
By taking the steps to understand why you’re experiencing these things, you can begin to unlock the strength you have within you.
Instead of struggling to find a sense of worth, you can rewrite the script and engage with yourself compassionately. It can be so easy to judge yourself harshly, but you have to remember this:
When you are cruel to yourself, you are inadvertently cruel to the innocent child within you.
You may have spent years seeking compassion and validation from others and finding only frustration and despair.
However, that doesn’t mean you’re beyond help. Recovery from complex trauma is a long journey, but the rewards you’ll reap along the way will keep you moving forward.
In Recovery from Complex PTSD, you will discover:

What Complex PTSD is and how it differs from the more commonly known PTSD
How to rewrite the narrative of your life to overcome negative self-concept and regain control over your life
The Loop of Traumatization: how your brain creates a survival-based narrative that dictates your thoughts and behaviors
How understanding the causes of complex trauma can allow you to overcome the fear and pain that accompany distressing experiences
What it means when you consistently experience disturbed interpersonal relationships
The avoidance techniques you are unconsciously employing in your daily life that protect you but are also keeping you stagnant
How you can build an accurate sense of self that isn’t formed by the events from your past

And much more.
You know what helplessness feels like. The paralysis of panic, the loss of control. What it’s time for you to learn, is that these feelings aren’t forever.
You are capable of transforming the way you experience life and in turn, change the lives of the people who care about you most.

Review

“Recovery from Complex PTSD by Don Barlow is a very insightful self-help book that intends to inform anyone battling complex PTSD (C-PTSD) that they can recover from it and live a fulfilling life. The author further gives detailed insights into the illness and provides ways they can heal from it.Don Barlow is a survivor of a traumatic upbringing, as he grew up with a manipulative and abusive parent. He spent many years battling mood swings, panic attacks, and anxiety. Fortunately, Mr. Barlow recognized his symptoms were those of PTSD and began to research on the topic. Today, he has recovered from that trauma and wishes to share his knowledge with readers in this book. While most people have heard about PTSD, C-PTSD is not that popular. The author explains that while PTSD results from a single traumatic event, C-PTSD generally results from a series of events or a traumatic event that occurs over a long period. Mr. Barlow also gives the symptoms of both disorders and, most importantly, shares how sufferers can recover and reclaim their identity.Firstly, I must commend the author for the amount of research put into this book. It’s easy to notice this because he excellently breaks the topic into bits, cites the works of others, and uses well-known theories to corroborate his points. I
