Conquering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

This is an excellent book. Post Traumatic Stress can have many crippling effects on the way one socialized and lived. If you have been through one
or a series of violent events, or seen them. There are exercises to help you cope and either rid yourself of them or know how to deal with them if they have really gotten into your inner being, and can be tapped into a lifetime.
Even many troubling events we hear about (9/11) can get inside us. I feel
sorry for what our Iraq soldiers go through when they come home,and hope they get the awareness or techniques to help. This is best to work with
in conjunction with a therapist. Many are very aware of this problem and how to help you work through it...plus other techniques. Friends as support systems to are greatly helpful. Very very good activities that help!

Recommended for everyone

Perceptive, insightful and well-written. I would recommend this book to
anyone who has any contact with PTSD issues. It should be obligatory to anyone who has experienced trauma on any level. Dr. Lemle Beckner is a gifted writer and original thinker.
