Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Workbook: Practical Help and Information for PTSD

by Rpc Cpca McLaughlin

Overview

Traumatic experiences need only be one chapter in your life.

You get to write the last chapter of your story.

PTSD is stealing far too much from the lives of trauma survivors. Many suffer in
silence. This workbook provides transformational tools for working through:

• Fear


• Anxiety


• Depression


• Losses


• Panic attacks


• Low self-esteem


• Triggers


• Destructive patterns

Writing down your feelings enables you to analyze your thoughts and behaviour,
reason them out, and effect change. Scientific research shows that by learning to think
differently, we can change the brain. This book will empower you to initiate the
necessary changes to restore order in your life.

This book includes an easily understood explanation of how trauma is stored in the
brain and what trauma does to the brain. Inside this book there is a plan for
overcoming the symptoms that hold you captive and a personalized path forward towards
peace and freedom.
