"Trauma can turn your world upside down - afterward, nothing may look safe or
familiar. This supportive workbook helps survivors of all types of trauma
rebuild their lives. Filled with comforting activities, relaxation techniques,
and self-evaluation questionnaires, the book explains how and why trauma can
throw you for a loop and guides you toward developing inner resources for
coping, self-understanding, and self-care. Step-by-step chapters help you to
reclaim a basic sense of safety, self-worth, and control; enhance your capacity
to trust and be close to others; protect yourself from overwhelming memories;
and heal from trauma-related reactions that may be disturbing your day-to-day
life. Written by experts in treating trauma and based on extensive research,
the workbook can be used on its own or in conjunction with therapy."--back
