In life, we all experience painful events. Hearts get broken, a friend lets us down, and the death of a loved one brings the desolation of grief. Sadly, some life journeys also include abuse, harm, betrayal or terrifying situations. How we cope afterwards depends on many factors, but trauma often creates an emotional wound. As time passes, some healing occurs naturally. Yet trauma often remains in the psyche for months, years or even decades. Carrying an emotional wound makes life more complicated. However, everyone can begin to feel better, lighter and happier. Healing starts with a deeper understanding of what happened, compassion, self-love and renewed self-esteem. Heal Yesterday’s Trauma dives into common areas of difficulties experienced in life. Each chapter explores how trauma hinders happiness and how to turn it around. Client stories—as well as those of the author’s—show how they released their pain. There are also exercises, tools and wisdom about becoming emotionally savvy, restoring boundaries and working with anger without exploding. The book includes a compassionate exploration of forgiveness and advice on how to heal a broken heart, as well as how to find peace after the death of a loved one. The book's theme is to help people re-find their inner happiness.

Are you one of the precious swan-like people? A swan glides serenely across the water. White feathers preened to perfection. The curve of its neck held high. It is a picture of beauty. Yet under the water, the view is very different. Large webbed feet on stumpy black legs work like pistons in a steam engine. It requires a massive amount of energy beneath the surface to make it look so easy from above. I’ve met many swan-like people. From above, their life looks good. Sometimes, amazingly good. Yet hidden from sight is a pool of sadness, anger, shame, or anxiety. These emotions are still there because the earlier trauma they experienced, has not healed. Heal Yesterday’s Trauma examines how trauma impacts on life. Then, through client stories, tools and exercises this book shows you how to heal, feel better and be happier.

Trauma and Substance Abuse explores the underrecognized connection between trauma, substance use, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Patients with trauma related distress such as PTSD often have comorbid substance use disorders (SUDs). This book presents cutting-edge research on how often the two disorders co-occur and why. Authors describe models of comorbidity and explore how specific PTSD and substance use symptoms are functionally related to each other. In addition, they suggest assessment approaches and practice guidelines to facilitate proper diagnosis and treatment. Particularly valuable are descriptions of several new treatment approaches that have been developed specifically for PTSD-SUD, including cognitive-behavioral and exposure therapy. This is the first book to evaluate and synthesize the two fields of PTSD and substance use disorder research and treatment. This volume is indispensable for researchers and clinicians seeking a full understanding of the etiology, assessment, and treatment of this challenging dual diagnosis.

Introducing a radical healing approach for the adult symptoms of Childhood PTSD—from the creator of the Crappy Childhood Fairy program and YouTube channel. Conventional trauma treatments (talk therapy and medication) simply don't work for many trauma survivors, and now we know why. Researchers have identified the core symptom that drives most other symptoms—neurological dysregulation. It's an injury to your nervous system triggered by abuse and neglect in childhood, and it can profoundly impact your physical health, damage your ability to learn and focus, and hold you back from forming caring relationships. The good news is that healing is possible, and in Re-Regulated, author Anna Runkle (aka the Crappy Childhood Fairy) shows you how. Chapter by chapter, she teaches you practical steps to identify signs of dysregulation, quickly re-regulate, and then stay regulated more of the time. Drawing from her own experience healing Childhood PTSD symptoms, and her decades of work coaching and mentoring thousands of others working to heal from abuse and neglect in the past, Anna helps you calm triggers, break out of isolation, and change the self-defeating behaviors that are so common for traumatized people. From a regulated state, things can move forward rapidly in every area of your life so you can become your full and real self at last. You'll learn: · Practical techniques to release trauma-driven thinking and strengthen focus · Principles to overcome trauma-driven thinking and behaviors that hold you back · Strategies to manage overwhelming emotions before they hurt relationships · A process to build your capacity to connect with other people · A "Daily Practice" to help you start each day regulated and energized Anna's tools can be used on your own or as a complement to professional therapy. With her help, you can achieve calmness and clarity you never imagined possible.

Introducing a proven, pioneering program that empowers trauma survivors to take control of their recovery through imaginative exercises Over the last thirty-five years, our understanding of trauma has dramatically changed. We now know that most people live through at least one traumatic event—which can cause disorders that range from depression, addiction, and anxiety, to cardiovascular disease and diabetes. But when leading German psychotherapist Luise Reddemann became head of a psychosomatic clinic in 1985, many doctors were routinely dismissive of patients’ trauma. Dr. Reddemann has devoted her career to this question: How can survivors of complex trauma and PTSD heal—and even help themselves to heal? In Who You Were Before Trauma, she presents her groundbreaking method, along with positive therapeutic strategies, to therapists and patients alike. Psychodynamic Imaginative Trauma Therapy (PITT) incorporates imagination work at every stage of the three-phase trauma therapy model: Establish safety and stabilization Come to terms with traumatic memories Integrate and reconnect with others. By guiding patients to unearth their buried strengths, envision an inner refuge, evoke helpful guiding figures, and ultimately build an “internal counterweight” to their trauma, Reddemann’s approach avoids the counterproductive dynamic where the therapist becomes the patient’s only source of comfort. This definitive trauma resource shows the way to empower survivors—by making them true partners in their recovery.

It is, in other words, the key to reshaping our very lives.”—Oprah Winfrey This book is going to change the way you see your life.
