Complex PTSD for Beginners: an Easy Guide: Overcome Depression, Anxiety, Anger & Worry. How to Improve your Moods, Regain Emotional Control, Find your ... Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Book 1)

by Gerhard Christianson

"Complex PTSD for an Easy Guide", hopes to be a source of information and inspiration for anyone experiencing PTSD or Complex PTSD, or for anyone who loves someone with Complex PTSD. The aim of this book is to provide a framework for self-management and recovery, but it should always be combined with professional help. You are strong enough to do this. Smile in trouble, gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as its name suggests, is an anxiety disorder that can occur secondary to a stressful or traumatic event like a vehicle accident or natural disasters. However, in recent years, a closely related condition called Complex PTSD (complex post-traumatic stress disorder) is emerging as a new anxiety disorder which is now widely recognized and diagnosed by doctors worldwide. This disorder is called “complex,” because it involves repeated trauma over months or years, compared to a single traumatic event that causes simple PTSD. This book, together with other resources and professional help, hopes to help its readers to overcome depression, anxiety, anger & worry associated with PTSD and Complex PTSD. In future updates, it will expand further into how to Improve your moods, regain emotional control, find your purpose after trauma & rise from CPTSD.

C-PTSD

I saw something about complex PTSD in another book about PTSD. Ha, what do you know this is what my daughter is suffering from, I did at one time myself. The woman who raised me, raised both my daughters. She used a type of brainwashing in them. The eldest girl, at eighteenth birthday, left that house of horrors. The other was only fifteen at the time. We went to court to get her out, had the proof of the abuse that was happening there, but the courts decided in the "Guardians" side thinking that it was for the girls best interest and that we were not entirely truthful about our evidence. Aileen's brainwashing was complete with the younger girl, she was part of the abuse my older one endured. This will help us both with what has happened to us both. Seeing that woman caused a retrigger with me and never knew for 14 years. I too, suffer once again, from C-PTSD. I really recommend this book for self help or help for others.

Well that was disappointing

There is nothing in here about how to conquer CPTSD. Bullet points with no instruction or anything. It’s terrible. I wanted a workbook or something but there was nothing in here to help me apart from descriptions of the symptoms I already know and suffer from.

It was very helpful. I just thought I had ptsd, now I know I have complex ptsd and how to work on some of the symptoms I have.

I just thought that I suffered from ptsd, now I know that I have complex ptsd. Wish could of home into more helps.

Not quite an easy guide

I thought this would be something that gives me a top to bottom understanding of CPTSD. It didn't. Instead, I found myself wondering why I was reading about Toxic Shame. Confusing.

This book gave great explanations and highlighted behaviours people with this disorder maybe doing without realizing why or how.
Overall a great book imo.

Its real self help terms and simple instructions after prelude of trauma. This book can have so much creative inspiration start up on how to recover. Take this book seriously when it seems like nobody else is talking about recovery need to find the instructions and words this book tells. Its like a coaching strategy written for people already maturing to understand what PTSD felt like and need supportive words for the prolong journey.
