Keep Pain in the Past

Getting Over Trauma, Grief, and the Worst That's Ever Happened to You

De: Dr. Chris Cortman, Dr. Joseph Walden

Narrado por: Jack de Golia

Heal psychological wounds on your own.

Move on from the emotional trauma of your past: Contrary to what many people believe, we can recover from emotional trauma relatively quickly and completely on our own. Whether it's extreme trauma such as sexual abuse or the horrors of war, or less dramatic but, psychologically speaking, just as serious wounds involving shame and guilt, we don't need to spend years in intensive therapy to recover. Keep Pain in the Past explains a process that allows you to do most, if not all, of the recovery on your own.

Train yourself in psychological self-healing: While most people know what they can do on their own to treat physical ills, they don't realize that they can apply certain psychological principles to treat anxiety, depression, and many other conditions. Keep Pain in the Past will teach you the critical skill of treating psychological wounds on your own.

Treat yourself and heal old wounds: As much as people may suspect that some trauma from their past is affecting them negatively, they struggle to do anything about it. They take refuge in denial, avoidance, or addictions rather than grapple with long-ago emotional pain-because surfacing that pain hurts. Keep Pain in the Past will help you identify and face this pain and find closure on your own. Use Dr. Chris Cortman's easy-to-master method to remember, feel, express, release, and reframe the trauma that has been haunting you for years.

Learn from the success of others: Discover how Sheri, a 37-year-old attorney, recovered from panic attacks that seemed to come out of nowhere. Follow the journey of Mark, a 29-year-old army veteran who experienced the horror of war in Afghanistan. Explore how Melinda, a 42-year-old professor who struggled to sustain a romantic relationship, confronted her torturous childhood and found love that is still going strong after three years.

informational

had lots of new information that I've never heard of in my very rural area

Thank you

I’m private but thank you for helping me process a loss in my life. The stories helped my perspective feeling and understanding and gut.

Very Helpful Read

I would recommend this book to anyone who is stuck in the past, for any reason. Excellent book

Helpful! But needs “trigger warning”

I found this book helpful and I very much liked the narration (I listened to the audiobook). That said, as it is a book likely to be read/listened to by those who’ve had a/many painful experience(s), some of the examples of the author’s patients’ stories are pretty heavy can trigger all sorts of things. I can’t stop thinking about one that was mentioned (girl in Vietnam) and may need some additional therapy sessions myself just to get over the mental picture of that story. This book NEEDS a “Trigger Warning”. Other than that, the book has helped me think about some experiences with a new perspective. (Hence, 5 stars Overall, 5 stars for Performance, and 4 stars for Story.)

Healing

Thankyou thankyou your book really made a difference for a 51 year old man that was a victim of incest.
