Complex PTSD: A Guide to Recovering from Childhood Trauma
39.99 €
This book examines complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), a condition resulting from childhood trauma that develops in children of all ages when parents are insufficiently loving and patient, overly demanding, overly self-absorbed, use corporal punishment, humiliate children verbally, physically, or psychologically, or resort to various forms of violence. Children raised in such families develop defensive reactions from infancy that later, in adulthood, prevent them from loving others, trusting them, and establishing meaningful human relationships, leading to the development of CPTSD. The author offers a healing method based on cognitive behavioral therapy. This book is intended for practicing psychotherapists and their clients with CPTSD and can be used as a self-help resource for all victims of childhood trauma.
"Pete Walker's new book is an invaluable and comprehensive resource for anyone with a history of childhood trauma. This book will undoubtedly be helpful to both clients and clinicians." Julia Scheinman, MA The causes of c-PTSD caused by childhood trauma vary widely, ranging from harsh parenting to domestic violence. Many trauma victims, despite living in "normal" families, did not receive parental love, but instead grew up in an atmosphere of fear, neglect, and stress; with living parents, they felt like orphans, deprived of parental care. As adults, they continue to suffer the consequences of "toxic parenting." If you felt unloved, rejected, unwanted, or hated as a child, childhood trauma has likely affected your soul, psyche, and body. This book is a practical guide to recovery from childhood trauma. It illustrates the stories of the author and his clients, and describes their journeys of recovery. The book serves as a self-help guide for those working to overcome the toxic legacy of an unhappy childhood in order to learn to enjoy life and love in the present.
