Is It Me or Complex PTSD: Navigating the Path to Healing and Transcending Trauma (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798987609866)

Do you ever feel like you just can't ground yourself in life because your life is different from that of everyone else?

Are you living in a constant state of fear and unable to relate to all the standard PTSD literature out there?

C-PTSD is a new and emerging condition in many ways, and yet to those who suffer from it, hearing it articulated feels like an explanation for the way they've felt their entire lives.

While regular PTSD can be treated with great success by focusing the mind on what life was like before the trauma, C-PTSD sufferers know nothing but chronic exposure to stress and anxiety.

While you might think that this means you'll never be able to move forward in life, the truth couldn't be more different. There's a growing body of opinion that certain mindfulness techniques, and emotional regulation exercises, can be used to treat and live with C-PTSD.

"Is It Me or Complex PTSD" is for anyone who wants to restart the process of living in the present by building a personal toolkit of processes that allow them to work through the past. It's about learning to live with what you have gone through, cope with it, reframe it and, ultimately, manage it in the face of adversity.
