Complex PTSD

From Surviving to Thriving

De: Pete Walker

Narrado por: Paul Brion

The causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grew up in houses that were not homes - in families that were as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated, and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul, and body.

This book is a practical guide to recovering from lingering childhood trauma. It is copiously illustrated with examples of the author's and his clients' journeys of recovering. It is a comprehensive self-help guide for working through the toxic legacy of the past and for achieving a rich and fulfilling life.

Extremely Helpful

I will be going back to this book from time to time in addition to recommending it to others.
This is the most helpful book that I've listened to in awhile.

profound yet simple and true

it was so helpful to learn that there's nothing wrong with me. It's emotional flashback's! I'm so glad I at least don't abuse others with them. I'm the freeze/fawn type. Pete gives excellent advice, sources, and ways to cope with flashbacks and heal.

Thank you for writing this book

This book is life changing for me. For many years, I have been suffering with a mystery illness, that left me with the inability to move my arms and legs, and for which infusions of very strong meds and treatments had no effect. After reading this book, I am finally able to give the mystery illness a name, and thanks to the author, I now have helpful suggestions for treating this condition. I am deeply grateful for the author of this book and the person that recommended the book to me.

This book helped my healing TREMENDOUSLY. I now have validation I needed as a child.
