Робочий зошит з розвитку навичок подолання комплексного ПТСР

by Tamara McClintock Greenberg, Тамара Макклінток-Ґрінберґ

Книга «Робочий зошит з розвитку навичок подолання комплексного ПТСР», що створена Тамарою Макклінток-Ґрінберґ, запропонує комплексний підхід до подолання складного посттравматичного стресового розладу (C-PTSD) за допомогою когнітивно-поведінкової терапії (СВТ), терапії прийняття і відповідальності (ACT), діалектичної поведінкової терапії (DBT), усвідомленості, менталізації та реляційної терапії. Ви дізнаєтеся про найефективніші стратегії боротьби із симптомами, подолання хворобливих спогадів та розвитку впевненості у собі. Найголовніше — ви знайдете підтвердження того, що ваші почуття не є «божевільними» чи «надмірними», і відкриєте для себе навички, необхідні, щоб допомогти вам відновити своє життя.

Якщо ви пережили тривалу або повторювану травму, наприклад жорстоке поводження чи зневагу в дитинстві, домашнє насильство, зраду або тривале емоційне насильство, ви можете за допомогою зошиту боротися з інтенсивними почуттями смутку, гніву, тривоги, сорому й недовіри до інших. Ви маєте знати: ви не самотні, ваш біль реальний, і є способи покращити своє психічне здоров’я і почати зцілюватися.

Reviews

As a psychotherapist, I love Dr. McClintock Greenberg's easily understandable descriptions of PTSD and CPTSD, and how they can affect one's view of themselves and the world. Throughout the workbook, I felt like she was sitting in a room with me, and talking/sharing in a caring way. The workbook both validates one's journey with CPTSD, while offering specific cognitive and behavioral interventions to manage strong emotions and problematic behaviors. I also appreciated the chapter on "finding a therapist" by helping clients to determine their preferences-invaluable.

Although there are exercises in the workbook that bring awareness of the body, the use of somatic therapies was never mentioned. Although they are not "evidence-based," the neuroscience research supports evidence that trauma is held in the body, and many leaders in the field support the use of both somatic resources and somatic trauma processing as essential for healing.

Maybe I have read one too many of these books.. or maybe this book needed a better editor. I found it to be too messy and all over the place. DNF.

Може бути гарним стартом в розумінні себе і травми.

[Vlada]

Хороша та важлива книга. Авторка має дуже лагідний підхід, проте водночас і не дає себе жаліти. Вона вчить керувати власним страхом і гнівом, який отруює нас зсередини. Показує, як можна відновити свою ідентичність, яку частково забрала травма, а також змцінює віру в себе.

I used this as a guided treatment with a therapist, but it can easily be used as a self-guided self-help book for CPTSD. It breaks each chapter down and has you look at your situation and asks you to reflect on yourself to see how you handle specific areas of your life.
I highly recommend this book, especially in conjunction with therapy.

The Complex PTSD Coping Skills Workbook is a must have for individuals experiencing C-PTSD as well as the mental health professionals who work with them. Dr. McClintock Greenberg has masterfully broken down this complicated topic into manageable segments. The book starts with an easily digestible explanation of the differences between C-PTSD and PTSD, then moves through segments of individual experiences of symptoms and emotions that commonly occur within the disorder. There are helpful clinical vignettes as well thoughts about underlying reasons some people develop C-PTSD. The workbook is rounded out with thoughts about working through C-PTSD, whether on one's on or in the care of a therapist. Finally, Dr. McClintock Greenberg lays out ideas around pitfalls in working with this disorder and ways to either avoid them or work with/through them. The workbook's inclusion of everyday language, and refreshing absence of industry jargon, makes it an incredible tool for both clinicians and para-professionals or lay people. I found the chapter on finding the right therapist one of the most useful guides I've seen. I will be recommending this to patients in my own practice who have endured C-PTSD as well as students and colleagues. This workbook is just the non-complex antidote the mental health field is needing for working with such a complex and insidious disorder. Hats off to Dr. McClintock Greenberg for using clarity and simplicity as her guides!

[Jon Mills]

Finally, a self-help book designed to make complex and complicated PTSD available to the public. Dr Tamara Greenberg is arguably one of the world’s leading clinicians on treating trauma. In this accessible workbook, she offers astute education, clarity, and practical strategies on how to cope with difficult emotions, disruptions in identity, and manage overdetermined symptoms and their sequalae in straightforward language through helpful attunement to the suffering trauma victims live with on a daily basis.

I cannot say enough good things about this workbook. Tamara McClintock Greenberg first explains what makes complex trauma different than classic PTSD, validating that it has been minimized and not well understood. Her short, easy-to-understand chapters cover the aspects of trauma that are often most difficult, such as fear, anger, dissociation, suicidal thoughts, and substance abuse. She also has a wonderful soothing voice as a writer and way of normalizing these experiences. I found her worksheets for going deeper and processing the material thoughtful, but I don't think they'd be necessary for those who don't like homework.

As a physician and therapist myself, I'm always on the lookout for useful self-help books that can give patients (and myself) those "a-ha" moments. This book is wonderful for both a better understanding of trauma, and also provides concrete tools for patients and therapists on what to do about it. The exercises are extremely helpful, and the backstory about how/ why these symptoms come about gives so much more understanding. Also, her writing style is so great. You feel like you're having a conversation with someone, which makes it more personal vs. lots of jargon. Highly recommend!!!

[Sareena]

This book is much more than a workbook. It's a soothing voice, reminding you that you are more than the painful experiences you've endured. By understanding how trauma hijacks our minds, the book helps outline a path back towards a life of meaning. Dr. McClintock Greenberg makes complex ideas feel easy to read and accessible to whatever level you feel ready to take on healing. I'm grateful to have read it.

[Hanne Mancil]

It took me so long to finish this workbook, but I’m really glad I did because it was so helpful understanding my CPTSD. I really learned a lot about skills and things to bring up to my therapist. I’m excited to try these skills out.

[Ally]

Five stars for the digestible amount of content and beneficial foundation for navigating complex ptsd. The included download, containing more information and the worksheets, is much appreciated since I borrowed this book from the library!

[Alicia Erben]

I could see this book being useful to use but several chapters were not applicable to me.

[Meghan Gruber]

Highly recommend if you struggle understanding and coping with CPTSD. Most helpful book I’ve read on the subject.

[Old Time Tales]

A helpful guide.

This is a helpful tool to provide a better understanding of a complex problem. Many useful self-surveys and situations. Recommended.

[Megan Crawford]

Super helpful first half, second half was very repetitive

[Denise Walk]

Easy to use worksheets that have helped us on our journey of recovery.

[Muriel (The Purple Bookwyrm)]

Found some of the stuff useful, some other things aren't so relevant and/or applicable for neurodivergent folks like myself. The section on dissociation was also pretty disappointing.

[Glenn Kelley]

The author has an amazing ability to assist the reader, one with CPTSD to understand the roots of the trauma they have experienced as well as find practical ways to learn their triggers and move on in life so they do more than just survive.... They can have hope to thrive.

[Katy Patrick Carlson]

A valuable resource to help get you out of emergency mode and help to establish safety both in yourself and externally through resources such as therapy etc. I found this book and it’s exercises to be a very useful tool over the last few months while addressing my own cptsd and related symptoms. I especially liked the journaling aspect and will return to this book many times for the useful exercises and thought work I’m sure.
