Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an extremely debilitating anxiety condition that can occur after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal. Although many know that this mental health issue affects veterans of war, many may not know that it also affects victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, natural disasters, crime, car accidents and accidents in the workplace. No matter the cause of their illness, people with PTSD will often relive their traumatic experience in the form of flashbacks, memories, nightmares, and frightening thoughts. This is especially true when they are exposed to events or objects that remind them of their trauma. Left untreated, PTSD can lead to emotional numbness, insomnia, addiction, anxiety, depression, and even suicide. In The PTSD Workbook, Second Edition, psychologists and trauma experts Mary Beth Williams and Soili Poijula outline techniques and interventions used by PTSD experts from around the world to offer trauma survivors the most effective tools available to conquer their most distressing trauma-related symptoms, whether they are a veteran, a rape survivor, or a crime victim. Based in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the book is extremely accessible and easy-to-use, offering evidence-based therapy at a low cost. This new edition features chapters focusing on veterans with PTSD, the link between cortisol and adrenaline and its role in PTSD and overall mental health, and the mind-body component of PTSD. This book is designed to arm PTSD survivors with the emotional resilience they need to get their lives back together after a traumatic event.

I connect with the love and strength it brings. It helps me remember: I can do hard things. I Can Do Hard Things: Mindful Affirmations for Kids is the perfect addition to your home or school library.

The Power of Positive Affirmations in Overcoming Abuse and Trauma takes the reader on a journey from victim to victor. The method used changes the old, negative, ingrained tapes in an abused person's mind into self-directed statements of positive affirmations about oneself. In effect, we throw out the thoughts that do us harm, creating victims of us, and put in the positive things that we find in each person, thus creating our true, wonderful selves. In this book, we find at the beginning support for the reader. We all need support when we are caught up in an abusive or traumatizing situation. The words take the reader's hand, asking them to follow into the book. Gently, the readers follow the guide of working on and with positive affirmations, creating their own positive affirmations for themselves. The readers are taught how to form positive affirmations that suit who they really are. This book talks about childhood through adult sexual abuse, trauma, rape (of all ages), and the mental difficulties from such an upbringing and more. It discusses how to change the negative tapes that have been programmed into the minds of the abused and traumatized into positive statements that help them to move toward a more positive life and thoughts. In this way, the reader goes from an abuse victim to a warrior who has fought to gain freedom from their respective pasts. They are then victorious and become who they were meant to be before the abuse and trauma. My own recovery, using, above all else, positive affirmations, has helped me greatly. I would suggest this strategy to any broken, abused, traumatized, or hurting person out there.
