REBOOT! Confronting PTSD on Your Terms: A Workbook

by David W. Powell, John Durkin (Introduction)

Overview

Are You Ready to Reboot Your PTSD?
Reboot! Confronting PTSD on Your Terms offers a well-structured method for getting a grip on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and starting to turn it around. Detailed inventories provide the opportunity to explore needs, both physical and emotional, both needs that are met and those that are unmet.
Powell recommends doing one's own work with these inventories to maximize the effectiveness of therapy. He covers a brief overview of many trauma treatments, including the one he chose.

If you're a trauma survivor, Reboot! will help you:
* Build self-reliance
* Take inventory of your condition
* Learn about rebuilding mental health from the foundation up
* Examine a range of treatment options
* See PTSD as a manageable condition
* Chart your progress

David Powell says:
"Don't be fooled by what you hear. PTSD is not a medical condition. And... with the right therapeutic approach, it is completely reversible!"

Acclaim for REBOOT!
"David Powell offers a simple but effective workbook for traumatized veterans and others suffering the effects of traumatic events to take stock of their situation.

A job well done."

About the Author

Angeles in 1941, and lived in Long Beach, Pasadena, Arcadia, Redondo Beach, and
Ventura until his relocation to Northern California in the early 1980s. There, he
lived in Sausalito, Foster City, Palo Alto, and Downtown San Francisco. David
migrated to Australia in 1974, and then returned to live in Southern California in
1975.

are alive, and endeavors to make the lives of others better than they may now be.
