Summary
Those affected by complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) commonly feel as though there is something fundamentally wrong with them - that somewhere inside there is a part of them that needs to be fixed. Though untrue, such beliefs can feel extremely real and frightening. Difficult as it may be, facing one’s PTSD from unresolved childhood trauma is a brave, courageous act, and with the right guidance, healing from PTSD is possible.
Clinical psychologist Dr. Arielle Schwartz has spent years helping those with complex PTSD - also referred to as C-PTSD - find their way to wholeness. She also knows the territory of the healing firsthand, having walked it herself.
This audiobook provides a map to the complicated, and often overwhelming, terrain of C-PTSD with Dr. Schwartz’s knowledgeable guidance helping you find your way.
In The Complex PTSD Workbook, you’ll learn all about C-PTSD and gain valuable insight into the types of symptoms associated with unresolved childhood trauma, while applying a strength-based perspective to integrate positive beliefs and behaviors.
Features of The Complex PTSD Workbook include:
- Information about common PTSD misdiagnoses such as bipolar disorder, ADHD, anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder, and substance abuse, among others.
- Explorations of common methods of PTSD therapy including somatic therapy, EMDR, CBT, DBT, and mind-body perspectives.
- Chapter takeaways that encourage thoughtful consideration and writing to explore how you feel as you review the material presented in relation to your PTSD symptoms.
The Complex PTSD Workbook aims to empower you with a thorough understanding of the psychology and physiology of C-PTSD, so you can make informed choices about the path to healing that is right for you and discover a life of wellness free of C-PTSD that used to seem just out of reach.
Praise for the book:
"This book is a valuable resource for all those affected by complex PTSD, allowing them to be informed and active as partners in the therapeutic healing process.” (Jim Knipe, PhD, author of EMDR Toolbox: Theory and Treatment of Complex PTSD and Dissociation)

Helpful book ruined by unthinking narration
This is a book that needs to be read with attention to the content and with a certain rhythm and pace. This narrator just runs through it like a recording machine, running on immediately when the sense needs a pause, etc etc.

WOW JUST WOW, it's as if you was describing me!!
OMG Did you write this bookable me?.
I'm a 47yr old woman who has carried this shame around with me for 40 yrs.
I've had counselling ect...they reallydidnt help much as I still feel ashamed as its controlled my life.
BUT NOT NO MORE.
thankyou so much for this book it has totally opened my eyes to a different view of the world.
Since listening to this book ( less than two weeks ago) I myself feel so much lighter...is that right?? yea I guess it is I feel lighter not bogged down with this cloud over my head.
I'd really like to thank Arielle Scwartz for publishing this book and for being truly outstanding in their field of work..

If you know, you know
I read this book for me and for a friend. I helped me enormously. It sensutively written and the case studies pertinent. Of course everyone's story is different. The narration is a bit robotic, but i think it is better that way; if it were warmer i think the book would become a bit more self therapy, and it's not that. Although reading this guide as i wait for therapy has helped me sleep, and to recignise how my friend and I can help and support each other. It is a scary area even looking for help is scary. This isn't so scary; challenging yes, but in a nice comfortable way.

Unbearable
The content is excellent, a topic I’m very interested in. Maryann Sullivan is credited for the narration but this has to be a computer generated voice, it is awful and has ruined it entirely. The pacing is bizarre, an exercise or reflection is suggested yet there is not even a pause for breath, computers don’t breath I guess. Just awful.

Excellent primer and stand alone resource
This book is written for clients and has some tidbits for clinicians. It also has a lot of pragmatic information. The narrator's presentation was not congruent with the material. Prosody was monotone and sentences bled into each other without much room to breathe into what was shared.

Question about additional pdf
I have a question regarding the included pdf worksheet for this book, I thought I heard it was part of the purchase of the book and was wanting to start on it now and can't find it in audible or the Amazon details for this. I gave it 4 stars bc it's come highly recommended by people who have a lot of knowledge and experience, as well as my own personal trust and respect to believe in their opinions. I will leave a better review when I get finished with it. If anyone has any ideas on where I can find this worksheet, please let me know if you can! Thanks so much!

Well-written, terribly narrated
I love the content and the accompanying PDF. The editing is pure crap. Based solely on how the audio is pieced together youd think the book was printed entirely without punctuation and is one big run-on sentence that sounds barely more human than AI narration I am also not punctuating this sentence in purpose to drive my point home
Bottom line: great content, but frustrating editing almost defeats the purpose of this book.

Cptsd
Absolutely not. Worst audible experience ever. Who tf wants to hear some over chipper fast paced female telling you “it’s okay” while trying to work on your issues.

workbook with no book waste of credit
for those of us that need the workbook aspect of dealing w trauma we tend to navigate to titles such as this. If simply hearing more info was what we sought a book entitled Astrid one isn't what one would even search for- let alone purchase. I'd heard such great reviews about the WORKBOOK is why I'd sought out this title. disappointment
