Living with PTSD

PTSD Recovery

By: Tim Gardner

Narrated by: Eric Burr

You’ve already had to experience trauma once. You shouldn’t have to keep reliving it.

Are you constantly on edge, finding it exceptionally difficult to concentrate on everyday tasks and get a restful night’s sleep?

Do you feel detached from your emotions and find yourself unable to communicate with others or express affection?

Do you experience frequent flashbacks, so vivid that it genuinely feels as if you had been teleported back in time to the exact moment the trauma occurred?

If you answered "yes" to all three questions, then you may be suffering from a condition called post-traumatic stress disorder. According to Mind, “PTSD is a type of anxiety disorder which you may develop after being involved in, or witnessing, traumatic events,” which despite popular belief, is not only diagnosed in war veterans.

The cause can range from sexual assault to working a job where you are repeatedly exposed to disturbing situations, but can also include any event where you feared for your life.

Regardless of the root, PTSD can greatly affect an individual’s quality of life, and so it is of the utmost importance to know how it affects you in order to regain control of your life.

In Living with PTSD, here is just a fraction of what you will discover:

• How to distinguish PTSD from other related trauma-induced conditions, and what your plan of action should be in order to recover accordingly for a happier, healthier life
• A breakdown of the five stages of PTSD recovery, as well as what identifying clues you should look out for that signify positive development in your healing process
• The underestimated power of this number-one tool in your journey towards recovery, and how to incorporate it into your everyday routine to gain the most benefits (bonus: no extra spending is involved!)
• The transformative thinking skill you need in your life that will not only help you heal faster, but will also lay a solid foundation for a practical, forward-thinking mindset
• Why scheduling alone-time into your day will prove to be one of the best approaches when it comes to rebuilding yourself, and how you should utilize that time to promote optimum health
• The backlash PTSD can have on an individual’s personal relationships, and what you can do to lessen your condition’s impact while also strengthening your beloved connections
• The key to imagining and creating a life beyond recovery, opening your eyes to the endless possibilities your future has to offer you
• And much more

If you’ve already tried one method of treatment for PTSD yet experienced no positive results, there are still multiple other options available for you to test out, so don’t get discouraged. Every person heals uniquely to the next, which means you need to find the method that works solely for you.

Keep in mind that treatment doesn’t automatically mean having to go to therapy - plenty of alternative ways to heal exist, allowing you to choose whatever feels most comfortable for you. This also means that it doesn’t matter whether you have the funds to support expensive approaches or not, as you will be able to get the help you need regardless.

Don’t let the past get in the way of your future.

Toolbox

Truly I’m enjoying your book. I’ve been through intensive counseling for my PTSD and I feel that a lot has been addressed, but I’m honestly tired of talking about it. I just want it to go away. And I feel that your book is giving me some real tools that I can utilize on my own in my every day life. Up until I started reading this book I was looking for an in-house treatment center for PTSD. I just wanted to go away for a week from the world and just have people help me deal. But now I don’t feel that way. I feel that I’m on my way back to happiness. For me it’s not reoccurring negative thoughts, it’s negative memories. I’ve tried to figure out what triggers them, but there does not seem to be a trigger That I can identify. I’ll just be driving down the road and all the sudden negative memories will fill my mind. I try to catch them stop them figure out where they came from and redirect them. But so far I haven’t been able to stop them.

5 stars!

I have found this to be a very useful adjunct to my therapy work with clients that have PTSD issues. The feedback from my clients has been positive and this book gives them a place to record their healing journey as we move through the chapters.

Very helpful

I experience complex PTSD and have had a difficult time finding help. This book is extremely helpful for me. I especially appreciate that Mr Gardner acknowledges more healing techniques than just talk therapy and medication. Also, Mr Burr's narration is calming and easy to follow. I will be listening to this one more than once and highly recommend it.

Very helpful

So very thank full that the Author has taken the time to write this book. Realizing that I can do things to calm the PTSD is very helpful.

Informative

While this was good information the reader was a bit monotone and it did get a little boring toward the end because of it. This is totally ama amazing book!

Thank you!

This book is wonderful for people who have PTSD (like me), and their partners.

The exercises and skills presented can facilitate better reflection and understanding of one's self and experiences.

So glad

These books would be really good for beginning teachers. I think it will help them learn how to manage their abilities better and handle the stresses of teaching.

Interesting book.

The author seems to know what he is talking about, and his advice feels intuitively right for me. I feel more understanding of myself and hope for a future of the forward movement. This is excellent information and I recommend to anyone who suffers from trauma or loves someone who does.
