Synopsis
I have Complex PTSD [Cptsd] and wrote this book from the perspective of someone who has experienced a great reduction of symptoms over the years. I also wrote it from the viewpoint of someone who has discovered many silver linings in the long, windy, bumpy road of recovering from Cptsd. I felt encouraged to write this book because of thousands of e-mail responses to the articles on my website that repeatedly expressed gratitude for the helpfulness of my work. An often echoed comment sounded like this: At last someone gets it. I can see now that I am not bad, defective or crazy...or alone! The causes of Cptsd range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grow up in houses that are not homes - in families that are as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul and body. This book is a practical, user-friendly self-help guide to recovering from the lingering effects of childhood trauma, and to achieving a rich and fulfilling life. It is copiously illustrated with examples of my own and my clients' journeys of recovering. This book is also for those who do not have Cptsd but want to understand and help a loved one who does. This book also contains an overview of the tasks of recovering and a great many practical tools and techniques for recovering from childhood trauma. It extensively elaborates on all the recovery concepts explained on my website, and many more. However, unlike the articles on my website, it is oriented toward the layperson. As such, much of the psychological jargon and dense concentration of concepts in the website articles has been replaced with expanded and easier to follow explanations. Moreover, many principles that were only sketched out in the articles are explained in much greater detail. A great deal of new material is also explored. Key concepts of the book include managing emotional flashbacks, understanding the four different types of trauma survivors, differentiating the outer critic from the inner critic, healing the abandonment depression that come from emotional abandonment and self-abandonment, self-reparenting and reparenting by committee, and deconstructing the hierarchy of self-injuring responses that childhood trauma forces survivors to adopt. The book also functions as a map to help you understand the somewhat linear progression of recovery, to help you identify what you have already accomplished, and to help you figure out what is best to work on and prioritize now. This in turn also serves to help you identify the signs of your recovery and to develop reasonable expectations about the rate of your recovery. I hope this map will guide you to heal in a way that helps you to become an unflinching source of kindness and self-compassion for yourself, and that out of that journey you will find at least one other human being who will reciprocally love you well enough in that way.

    From when I ordered it to when it arrived was about 8 days. 4 new 12" clamps for $84.83 total or $21.21 each. Reasonable price considering shipping. Before I bought it I asked though if it was the clamp with the yellow pads or the one with the black pads, because the product image showed 2 different clamps. The seller said it was the yellow model. I received the black model. (note: other differences aside from color). The return was no hassle and every communication was positive with the seller.

    Very Helpful. Takes the Complex and Makes it Totally Understandable.

    I am so grateful to have come across this book by recommendation from a Youtube channel. This book helps me fully grasp my own inner hysteria that I tried so desperately and thoroughly to escape for so long. I love how the author has seasoned so much and shares his insight from a more enlightened, grounded perspective because of it. Probably the best aspect of this book is that it is not written in technical jargon but instead lays out the theories and postulates in straightforward terms. I find myself re-reading sentences not because they are difficult but because he has made the space to accept what they say internally. I feel different after reading them. I had done serious and expansive self-work and spiritual work before coming to this book and I feel I can finally lay my head down ...

    A Life Changer

    I'm 65 years old, have worked very hard to improve my life. There have been so many mysteries that I've never understood. After reading this book, the mysteries have revealed themselves. I now know what I have been dealing with my entire life. It's painful and so deeply gratifying at the same time.

    Sooo Worthy!

    This book turns the lights on within a deeply wounded individual. That’s because the author found the real “light switch” from his own life experience.

    Definitely worth the read!

    Out of all I've read so far, this book is a great book b/c Pete Walker writes out of his own battles w/ CPTSD. The information in this book is so clear about our reactions when suffering & how they come from our childhood abuses or neglect. Also, he gives emotional flashback steps to come out of a flashback. This is a very good help for anyone who's suffered freeze, flight, fight or fawn & most people have & do suffer from these reactions! Lots of books out there but this is one of the tops & not hard to read!

    Revelatory and Relatable

    This book is on point and relatable to those who suffer from Complex PTSD. I can open the book to any page and get some good out of it. I can take my time and let the words sink in. The term 'abandonment depression' struck a chord with me. It was a piece of the puzzle that made sense to me and fit my experiences.
