You Empowered: Get Beyond The Trauma You've Experienced To Live A Full And Happy Life

by Anna Saviano, Amy Tibbitts

Do You Feel Hopeless, Have Uncontrollable Anger Or Have You Suffered Childhood Traumatic Events? Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) can help. Past traumatic events often trigger strong reactions that can interrupt your daily life. You may feel as if you are reliving past experiences or you may feel trapped by strong emotions and physical sensations. You Untangled, the first workbook in this series, explains how to evaluate your emotions, communicate effectively, maintain healthy relationships and live mindfully. Once you have established that baseline of healthy mental and emotional functioning, it is possible to move deeper into reprocessing past trauma. You Empowered can help you take that next step on your journey toward a happy, productive and fulfilling life. Using the principles of DBT and EMDR, this workbook offers proven methods to help free you from past trauma and destructive behavior. Learn how to: • Reprocess traumatic events to stop them from triggering negative behavior • Use breathing and meditation techniques to dramatically reduce stress • Evaluate your family systems to understand why past trauma may have happened • Understand life stages and find self-fulfillment at any age • Stop shaming yourself and continuing the cycle of blame

I am lucky enough to have Anna as my therapist. Her compassion and knowledge of the subject matter leaves no room for improvement - she can't get any better. The book is an easy read, with tons of helpful information without being confusing or using too much technical terminology. I highly recommend this book.
