[Life After Trauma, Second Edition: A Workbook for Healing] [Author: Rosenbloom, Dena] [April, 2010]

by Dena Rosenbloom

Trauma can turn your world upside down--afterward, nothing may look safe or familiar. This compassionate workbook has already helped tens of thousands of trauma survivors start rebuilding their lives. Full of practical strategies for coping and self-care, the book guides you toward reclaiming a solid sense of safety, self-worth, trust, and control, as well as the capacity to be close to others. The focus is on finding the way forward in your life today, no matter what has happened in the past. The updated second edition has a new section on managing emotions through mindfulness and an appendix on easing the stress of health care visits. Dozens of step-by-step questionnaires and exercises are included; you can download and print additional copies of these tools for repeated use.

I found this workbook useful in understanding the human needs to feel safe, to trust, to feel control over your life, to feel value and value others, and to feel close to others and how these can be affected after a trauma. Some of the exercises were repetitive, but I liked some of them.

This wasn't as informative and helpful as The PTSD Workbook was. The exercises were the same for each chapter so I ended up skipping a lot since I was rewriting the same thing.

Pretty good stuff. Lots of exercises. Based on ACT (Assess, Choose, Take Action) therapy. Good advice to pursue what you value in life.
