Getting unstuck from PTSD : using cognitive processing therapy to guide your recovery / Patricia A. Resick, PhD, Shannon Wiltsey Stirman, PhD, Stefanie T. LoSavio, PhD.
Anyone who is struggling to recover from trauma can now receive one of the gold-standard treatments for PTSD. This is the first self-help workbook based on cognitive processing therapy (CPT). Leading authorities--including the originator of CPT--have created a complete program featuring step-by-step exercises, downloadable practical tools, and empathic stories of men and women working toward recovery. CPT helps PTSD sufferers systematically re-examine unhelpful thoughts about traumatic experiences, so that the memories become less painful and overwhelming. It helps people navigate the impact of trauma in relationships and restore a sense of safety and trust. Readers learn how to get unstuck from what happened in the past--so they can build the life they want now. "-- Provided by publisher.
