Description
Those who have experienced a traumatic event and are having trouble moving past feelings of fear, shame and guilt, or helplessness may be diagnosed with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Reclaiming Your Life from a Traumatic Experience: A Prolonged Exposure Treatment Program can help readers to overcome and reclaim their lives from PTSD.
Best used in combination with treatment by a mental health professional, the second edition of this Workbook, along with the accompanying Therapist Guide, will help readers work through PTSD regardless of the type of trauma experienced-be it a motor vehicle accident, physical or sexual assault, or combat-related event. The program outlined in this book will reduce anxiety and distress, teaching readers to face memories of trauma while processing their emotions about the event using a scientifically tested and proven technique called Prolonged Exposure Therapy. Instead of avoiding or escaping situations that provoke anxiety and other negative emotions, readers will learn how to reevaluate feelings and beliefs to think differently about their traumatic experiences. Complete with information on PTSD, as well as case examples, self-assessment tools, and homework assignments, Reclaiming Your Life from a Traumatic Experience is an invaluable tool on the road to recovery from PTSD.

Reviews / Votes
Reclaiming Your Life from a Traumatic Experience by Foa, Rothbaum, Hembree and Rauch is an outstanding addition to the clinical literature. This workbook, complete with exercises to complement every strategy, will be an important complement for clinicians learning to use prolonged exposure or learning to use exposure with patients who have PTSD. The workbook is concise, easy to read, and applicable to ages from adolescents to seniors. This will be a welcome read for therapists, patients, those in training. It represents a major advance in the treatment of PTSD. * Terence M.
