The Complex PTSD Workbook

A Mind-Body Approach to Regaining Emotional Control and Becoming Whole

By: Arielle Schwartz, Jim Knipe - foreword

Narrated by: Maryann Sullivan

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.

What stood out was how forever blessed the workbook is.

I like how understandable it is, I like how relatable it is, I like how helpful it is, and In God We Trust Forever.

Well-written, terribly narrated

I love the content and the accompanying PDF. The editing is pure crap. Based solely on how the audio is pieced together youd think the book was printed entirely without punctuation and is one big run-on sentence that sounds barely more human than AI narration I am also not punctuating this sentence in purpose to drive my point home

Bottom line: great content, but frustrating editing almost defeats the purpose of this book.

Much needed information for CPTSD healing

I feel it is never too late to heal. The information in this book will help.

Excellent primer and stand alone resource

This book is written for clients and has some tidbits for clinicians. It also has a lot of pragmatic information. The narrator's presentation was not congruent with the material. Prosody was monotone and sentences bled into each other without much room to breathe into what was shared.

Helping yourself first

Helping myself, helped me to help others better! this workbook is so helpful to me! I had to do some hard work, but it was not as bad using this tool :) thank you Arielle and Maryann has a great voice.
