Rövid leírás:

Get through post-traumatic stress, reclaim your life, and be stronger than you ever have been

Feeling upset, anxious, or overwhelmed because of a traumatic event--whether a large-scale disaster or a more personal one-- is a completely natural reaction, and it's perfectly OK to take your time to heal. There are no right or wrong ways to recover from post-traumatic stress, no timelines or due dates. There are, however, simple things you can do to help yourself grow stronger, healthier, and happier. This life-affirming, interactive workbook by psychotherapist Monica Lang is filled with powerful thoughts, meditations, and exercises that will help you to:

• Understand and process your feelings and reactions to trauma
  
  
• Handle your grief, bad dreams, flashbacks, and anxiety with inspiring activities and exercises
  
  
• Discover a renewed sense of peace through self-care and techniques to calm the mind and body
  
  
• Strengthen your relationships and get the support you need

?Monique Lang provides readers with effective tools to help process and understand traumatic experience. . . . A powerful book.?
