Produktbeschreibung

Reversing the Trauma of War is for all veterans and active duty personnel who have witnessed and survived combat and are still struggling with PTSD. Just as you trained for battle, you can now retrain your mind for civilian life. This book is for you if you have experienced any or all of these devastating PTSD symptoms:

. Addiction . Guilt . Fear & Anxiety . Hypervigilance . Anger . Isolation . Insomnia . Depression . Flashbacks . Nightmares . Pain . Sexual Assault/Harassment . Triggers . "Anniversary" Responses . On-going Fatigue and Stress . Traumatic brain injuries

Reversing the Trauma of War empowers you to become calmer, more confident, and form healthy relationships.

Designed specifically for military personnel, this book introduces you to safe and effective visualizations that help you cope with stressful situations and turn around the automatic reactions that arise in PTSD. Taking only a few minutes a day, these easy to do imagery exercises harness the power of your mind to heal. Grounded in modern science, mental imagery can be a powerful adjunct to other therapies as well.

An easily accessible guide, the book weaves together an understanding of combat PTSD, personal stories, and a multitude of mental imagery 'recipes' that you can easily understand and use immediately.

Special sections for families of vets and clinicians treating vets or other traumatized people.
