Book excerpt: Post-Traumatic Growth Mindset: The Complete Guidebook of Techniques of PTSD Healing and Recovery is an instructive manual that shows you the momentous heights you can reach when you overcome your trauma and how to get to those heights. The book provides straightforward information that anyone can apply to create post-traumatic growth. Trauma is a common human experience, and this trauma can result in severe side effects caused by conditions like PTSD. PTSD can have debilitating physical and emotional symptoms, but one of the worst effects is that it can make you feel detached from your life. Think about all the ways your trauma influences your life. Does it make it hard to communicate with loved ones? Does it cause you to isolate or engage in risky behavior? Does it make you feel sad, angry, or hopeless? Trauma has a wide range of effects, and it doesn't influence anyone in the same way. Therefore, it is a highly personal experience despite the fact that people often have similar symptoms. Thus, this book does not depict trauma just by the symptoms and how to handle those symptoms; it takes a holistic approach that allows people to customize their treatment to their individual circumstances. The book acknowledges that not everyone is the same, and it doesn't claim there is a one size fits all solution. Using clear language and compelling statistics, Post-Traumatic Growth Mindset: The Complete Guidebook of Techniques of PTSD Healing and Recovery teaches you how to process your trauma and learn to be better than you ever were. It encourages post-traumatic growth, which allows you to not just be resilient, but it allows you to grow as a person. You're going to push your boundaries and challenge yourself to be a better, stronger person. This book will do the following: ✅ Teach you what you can gain from post-traumatic growth ✅ Depict what trauma is and the various levels and symptoms associated with trauma ✅ Explain what PTSD is and what C-PTSD is ✅ Describe the symptoms of PTSD and some of the causes ✅ Detail the brain-body connection and how the neurobiology of trauma impacts you ✅ Give you tools that you can use to cope with PTSD ✅ Show you the power of post-traumatic growth and how to apply it to your circumstances ✅ Help you understand the various therapeutic and lifestyle changes you can make to address your trauma ✅ List physical ways to help you heal ✅ Guide you to create realistic self-improvement expectations and manage your prolonged happiness Don't let your trauma take over your life. Whatever you experienced, you've gone long enough with the pain and exhaustion that trauma brings. It's time to build your toolbox and learn about how trauma settles into your brain and how you can use scientifically supported evidence to combat your traumatic responses. It's time to heal, and you'll be able to begin the healing process before you've even finished this book.

Download or read book Post Traumatic Stress Disorder written by J.F. Pagel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PTSD is in no way an easy diagnosis for the patient, the provider, or the therapist. It is a diagnosis developed at the border of our capacity to handle extreme stress, a marker diagnosis denoting the limits of our capacity for functioning in the stress of this modern world. For both individuals and society, PTSD marks the limits of our available compassion and our capacity to protect ourselves from the dangers of the environment and other humans. PTSD is often a chronic disease, forming at a place where mind sometimes no longer equals the brain, a point at which individual patient requirements often trump theory and belief. There are treatments for PTSD that work, and many that do not. This book presents evidence, rather than theory, anecdote, or case report. Psychological approaches including prolonged exposure, imagery rehearsal therapy and EMDR have a greater than 75% positive short-term response when used to treat PTSD. Yet these treatments vary markedly and have different, even contradictory underlying theory and objectives for treatment. Medications, rarely indicated as primary therapy, can be used to treat symptoms and address comorbid PTSD diagnoses. Treatment of sleep apnea in the PTSD population produces a positive effect on symptoms and a reduction in morbidity and mortality across the span of life. Complementary treatments offer the many individuals chronically affected by PTSD assistance in coping with symptoms and opportunities to attempt to functionally integrate their experience of trauma.

This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Reverend Mosby's son went to war, she, like so many other mothers, prayed for his safe return. Her prayers were answered. He came home, alive and whole. Or, so she thought. The War Stole My Soul with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): What Now? is the result of a mother's mission to restore her son's faith in God and encourage his desire to live. In her quest to save her son from his despair, Reverend Mosby came to understand the debilitating effects of PTSD on the souls of veterans. She found there were no government resources to heal their broken spirits. Few church communities had either the knowledge of PTSD and its symptoms or the means to support its victims. Reverend Mosby set out to educate those who could help those who suffer. She created a training program to raise awareness of PTSD among church leaders. Encouraged by the program's success, Reverend Mosby began speaking to church groups, veterans' organizations, corporations, and at conferences. And, now, through this book, she is expanding her reach so that no veterans and their caregivers will ever have to say: The War Stole My Soul with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): What Now?
