    I was having symptoms of c-ptsd and didn’t even know it! I kept thinking I was having panic attacks but thanks to my therapist who gave me homework. She told me to order this book and work through each chapter together. First of all chapter 1 will gather you in a good way. It’s going to be an eye opener for sure! BUT YOU MUST BE READY TO HEAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK!

    I'm sure this book would be beneficial to many people especially to those seeking knowledge about CPTSD and what it is. It would probably even be great if done alongside a good therapist to get more deeply into the self work that is needed when coping with CPTSD. But for me (after a quick scan of the book) it just seems like it would be good at telling me things I've already figured out, and it would have been more useful to me had I found it when I first started realizing my situation as opposed to years later after I've done all the online research and online groups. For me, at this moment in time, this book feels elementary so I ended up returning it and seeking something deeper.

    I am 43 working on myself. I was sexually abused almost daily from 5 to 16 years old. He went to prison for what he did & for years I've known it wasn't my fault. I've noticed unhealthy patterns recently where I've kept making same bad choices not being able to see the root problem. This workbook is very good in explaining the "Why's" of my life. It explains why I've only been half hearted until now. It is painful to know but necessary to heal. Hope this helps & remember the trauma is over & we deserve to love ourselves

    I love this book for the basics. I personally loved the 2nd phase because it teaches a good tool for facing and dealing with someone who might trigger a PTSD reaction or uncomfortable situation where we really do need to set a boundary and have a clear way for emotional regulation. I also loved how it defines resilience in phase 3. However what I didn't like is that it doesn't address tools for HSP like another book I've been listening to that can amplify triggers and need a balance of stimulation and relaxation. I feel like there can be even more advanced methods based on personality type and specific experiences such as "tricky families" that I learned from a social worker. There are 7 different family types that can contribute to cptsd . I'm hoping they make an updated version to accommodate personality types and different experiences contributing to cptsd. But its perfect for the basics and those who are not familiar with psychology and therapy, with the work they can do on their own.

    This book is one of the best self help books I have ever purchased. I recommend this book for anyone who struggled with PTSD, or disorganized attachment styles. It really shares a level of understanding of what it is and how to help heal from it. It is explained in a way that most with this disorder would find quite accurate. The exercises are great and really help the creation of mindfulness. I'm so happy I purchased this! I am a psychology major and I have read and tried just about every self help book out here and this one is by far the best. Don't hesitate to buy this!

After yrs of therapy and meds this book was an eye opening experience and helped me change my entire view on life.

    Straight to the point education and self help for C-PTSD (multiple/numerous traumas), identifies many different types of therapy options, thought provoking journaling sections! I also referred this workbook to a family member and they were amazed at how eye opening it was to their own self and came to a realization of cycle breaking needing to be done. I highly recommend! Take advantage of using a highlighter and pen down your experiences and emotions! I highly recommend for those trying to break family trauma cycles (they you may not even realize existed).

    If you have complex trauma, ie you endured neglect or had a parent that was a narcissist -- get help. If you wont or cant afford therapy, then try a work book. YOU DESERVE to have those traumas not hold you back from a joyful life.
    In addition to working inward... do things to integrate your mind/body connection: watch and do yoga, deep breathing, creative arts videos... You will feel better when you take small, incremental steps that are affirming. Do them small and slow enough so they dont feel unnatural or too uncomfortable. They are affirming you -- something that you may not have had, but need and deserve. Just try! I believe in you!

    This is a great tool for someone who has a trauma history and is feeling overwhelmed and confused by the way it is impacting their current life. I encourage people to use this partnered with therapy, but alone its a great first step to understanding, building self-compassion, and building skills to cope. Highly recommend!

    I have worked halfway through this book now, and I can confidently say this is the best book I have found to verbally express and confirm deep wounds, reaffirm the progress that has been made and help with pitfalls. With CPTSD an individual has trouble defining and viewing wounds logically in order to work through them. With only pictures, broken records and subconscious reactions, it is difficult to make sense and reprogram your thoughts, and thus your actions, This is a great tool for that. I find myself writing my own book within the pages of this one. Invaluable book for people that need training for daily life; because they were deprived of this.

    This book was a very useful tool for me after my brain injury 2 years ago. What I like most about it are the examples in each chapter and questions with an answer space. It makes the reader apply what they learn in the chapters to their own situations.

    Succinct CPTSD information overview and recap, case-study examples, and thought-provoking questions. If you’re someone struggling with Complex PTSD issues, this book is a worthwhile tool for a healing journey.

    My only beef (minus one star) is the binding... For a workbook whose purpose is to be written in, traditional glue binding is a limiting, awkward pain in the arse design flaw! Grrr.

    This really should be a spiral bound book so it can lay flat to write in! Perhaps the publisher will improve upon that with future editions...

    If you're fully committed, ready for healing and have the proper support system in place this work book will help you acquire more tools to help you grow through your trauma. It helped refresh the tools I had and equipped me with more all the while giving me more insight on how to approach any areas of my life I may be feeling 'stuck' in. Daily practice with the tools that are learned are key to continually growth. What might work today could be found in the work book to help you tomorrow. It did for me. Best wishes to everyone doing the work to heal from their past.

    I really like this book that has ample places to journal, answer questions, and to mull over information. I have found I have taken a slow pace to let it sink in. I think it makes me try and truly apply to real situations in my life. I am glad I got this. I think you get out more of what you put into something, so it's as intensive as you let it be.

    It you are in a state in your recovery where you need to hear a different voice explain what's going on with your mind and body, this is a wonderful book. You don't necessarily have to do the exercises and I personally didn't see a whole lot of benefit from them, or that I can relate back to them. But regardless this book can be a fantastic tool to help progress in your recovery. My only big complaint is that the book seems sightly geared for female survivors. I am a male and notice many help books for cptsd are this way. I wish more authors would incorporate male survivors in their material.

    I really like how this book starts with self care. It’s heloed me change my detox is slowly. I was in a head on collision where they had to bring me back to life. Broke everything internally except my brain last year, as well as every limb, my neck, & back. In addition to my extreme child abuse as I grew up this book has helped me manage to work with my therapists to truly cope with my C-PTSD. It’s a tool I’d advice anyone to purchase.

    An excellent workbook about CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and how to overcome it. It's written in a soft and warm way. It covers the foundations of CPTSD plus many therapy styles and self exercises, in order to give you a lot of information without being overwhelming.

    The author's voice kindly guides and inspires you to create your own healing journey, at your own pace, with the activities you find pleasurable. The book also contains a glossary and many references and resources, letting you design you perfect toolbox.

    A must read (and practice!) for those who struggle with CPTSD. It is with this type of books and writing that we're understanding, therefore changing, the D (disorder) for an R (response). Because it's not "something" that's broke beyond fixing, but an learned pattern that can be decoded and replaced with healthy thoughts and behaviors.

    Remember: It's not you, it's your programming. Uninstall it. Get rid of that trojan virus. And you'll be your own person.

    This is an excellent book for working through C-PTSD, its symptoms and underlying causes. The written exercises based on the text are graduated to move the reader from specific awareness of what is troubling to options for resolution and freedom. The fog of uncertainty lifts. The exercises are well worth completing. They cannot be done without some painful returns and reactivations of past experience, so it is important to allow oneself time for the insights and sensations that arise to settle into body and mind. It may be necessary to pace oneself by taking breaks at the end of sections.
    The book is very useful preparation for work with a psychologist. It is very important to have a professional on hand as part of the process. Working alone through the text is more likely to overwhelm the reader with reactivated trauma. The text describes various psychological approaches to trauma, and this helps when seeking professional assistance.
    Like another reviewer, I found the cover to be agreeably tactile - peaceful even. This was a bonus when dealing with difficult material. The general tone of the book is reassuring and life-affirming. Conscientious application of the text can only result in healthy outcomes for the reader.

    I'm only 68 pages in, out of 165 (not counting glossary/appendix/references), and I really like this workbook. The author explains things in a very straight-forward, easy to understand manner. It's helpful that I have a degree in psychology and am working on a masters in counseling, however the subject of Complex Trauma is not taught in my program. As a survivor of narcissistic abuse, I found that the experience stirred up a lot of childhood stuff, and I saw parallels between the relationship with my ex, and the relationship I had with my mother. It was at that point, that I realized I would need additional help to resolve these issues. I read a lot of narcissistic abuse survivor books but they didn't delve into the underlying causes like this one does. Also, I didn't realize that a lot of the symptoms of C-PTSD are similar to those of BPD, which I was diagnosed with 20+ years ago. After reading this book, I started to wonder if maybe I was misdiagnosed and have lived with this label my entire life, one that my psych professors and therapist have always questioned. The activities in the workbook are helpful without being challenging, if you are someone who it fairly self-aware. There is even s section on breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness, for those who perhaps are unfamiliar with those practices. I have found it useful to just explore a couple pages at a time, and sit with each activity for a few days, rather than rush through it. This is a book I will recommend to future clients.

    Even my therapist liked it and quite down the name so she could check it out more. It is an easy read that explains C-PTSD (which isn't in the DSM despite many therapists and researchers believing that is a mistake). It explained how it happens, why it happens, and the symptoms. Every section had a place for you to write down answers to questions. I didn't really do all of them because I didn't want to stop reading.This is probably a good book for people who are new to the world of C-PTSD, curious about it, or are raising a child who may have it.

    I first came across this workbook as a free review copy. Ten pages in I was in tears because I finally had some hope. I decided then to purchase my paper copy to support the author because of that hope. I'm still working through it, but I've been helping friends in need with C-PTSD purchase their own copies. I highly recommend this this workbook for anyone living with complex PTSD. It's a fantastic resource on it's own and has the added benefit of a useful outline to work through with a therapist.

    My daughter experienced a traumatic event in 2015, she goes to therapy weekly. My daughter is too young to read but my wife and I have read this. It is a well-written book and has been very useful to us. It gives us perspective and tools to understanding some of the things our daughter goes through. It has been effective and has helped a little. There are some things that will take longer for her to heal from but hopefully, she can read this to help her when she gets older.

    Dr. Schwartz’s book offers a golden thread of hope to help guide individuals through healing from childhood trauma. Individuals struggling with C-PTSD often have spent much of their lives shrouded in fear, isolation, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. If I had to pick one key takeaway from this workbook, it would be validation. Through accessible education, affirmation, and gentle prompts toward self-exploration, Dr. Schwartz validates the often confusing and overwhelming experience of those that who have experienced childhood trauma and empowers them to take part in their healing. For the professional, Dr. Schwartz’s workbook could be considered a physical manifestation of the hope that we hold for our clients in their most troublesome of times. It is a guide that provides concrete information about the etiology, symptoms, possible barriers, and pathways to healing from C-PTSD. Dr. Schwartz’s warmth and compassion are evident in her writing, offering an extension of the healing relationship experienced in the therapist’s office.

    Aesthetically, this workbook is different from what you might expect from a self-help workbook. The cover has a lovely softness that invites you to hold it in your hands and just notice. The size of this workbook is smaller than the usual 8.5 x 11 where you might feel compelled to sit at a desk and “do your homework.” Rather, Dr. Schwartz’s book feels more like a book that you might curl up with on the couch, along with your favorite pen, to reflect at the end of chapters and note the passages that resonate with your experience. Each chapter begins with an image, a window into nature, a place of simple but profound beauty. Brief passages of wisdom and reassurance are easily accessible by just flipping through the book and noticing the orange text near your fingertips. Passages in blue text convey the real experiences of individuals healing from C-PTSD and thus, reminding the reader that they are not, in fact, alone.

    This workbook is empowering and a companion for individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, a comprehensive overview for those interested in understanding more about C-PTSD, and a valuable tool for professionals to share with their clients as they partner on the journey toward healing from C-PTSD.

    This book is an excellent resource for those who have experienced childhood trauma as well as for those who work with them. While designed to help support the therapeutic process, this book is also extremely helpful for those who want to better understand C-PTSD, find clarity about which therapeutic approaches are available and might be a best fit, and learn new ways to resource their healing journey and process through parts of their past. Dr. Schwartz draws from the best ideas and interventions from a variety of therapeutic approaches, resulting in a workbook that I highly recommend to anyone who is on the path to healing from C-PTSD or to anyone who is supporting someone else on this path.
