Healing from Post-Traumatic Stress
Healing from Post Traumatic Stress Having experienced the trauma of  childhood sexual abuse in my life, I found this book to be extraordinarily  helpful for anyone suffering from the emotional & physical discomfort of  post traumatic stress. It is filled with insightful self care techniques to  help support healing & recovery through hard times & difficult days.  Every  chapter is filled with gentle, caring & safe suggestions, that encourage  the reader to find their path towards inner peace. Throughout the book, the  author's warmth & compassion is obvious, as she shows you how to develop  your self confidence, while dealing with the feelings of the trauma. No  other self care workbook that I have read in the past, has been as  informative & comforting. PS:  Thank you so much for allowing me the pleasure of reading your book.   Finally, I wish I had a read such as this, when I faced my own personal  trauma.  Your book is wonderful. --a client - anonymousMonique Lang provides readers with effective tools to help process and  understand traumatic experiences. It is a powerful book for those  interested in helping themselves as well as an adjunct to seeking  professional support. Its easy to read text and straight-forward exercises  provide a very important first step.  I highly recommend Healing from Post Traumatic Stress for both the general  public and professionals working with Trauma Survivors. --Lois Guarino, Director of People & Culture Omega Institute for Holistic StudiesHealing from Post Traumatic Stress is that rare combination in the  trauma literature of a book that is practical, well written and  scientifically accurate. The author begins by helping her readers learn the  skills required to manage the powerful emotions associated with trauma.  Then, step by step, she takes us through the process of healing and growth.  Her use of nonverbal techniques such as collage and drawing adds an  unusually strong dimension. This book is an invaluable tool for  professionals working with traumatized individuals and I highly recommend  it for that purpose. --Rosemary Masters, Co-Director of the Trauma Studies Program of the  Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in New York City.Monique Lang has produced a comprehensive workbook which  beautifully speaks to the many feelings and challenges commonly experienced  by individuals who have been traumatized.  Using a holist approach, the  book empathically encourages individuals to work through the trauma related  feelings and behaviors which may be negatively impacting their lives.   Feelings commonly experienced by those who have been traumatized are  outlined in a manner which also respects and affirms individual  differences.  Readers are then assisted to develop healthier lifestyle  behaviors and patterns.  The book's empowering tone, combined with its  practical exercises, effectively assists individuals impacted by trauma to  move from a place of being a victim to one of being a survivor. --Sylvie Jeanloz, ACSW, Assistant Executive Director, Adult and  Family Services Kingsbridge Heights Community CenterThis is a masterful and resourceful book that clinicians will find  enormously helpful in their work with trauma survivors. Clients can utilize  the workbook to develop the skills and awareness necessary for healing.  This book represents an important integration of trauma theory, the body  and spirituality in a way that offers guidance and hope in our work with  trauma clients. --Rita Hayes ,LCSW, former Clinical Director of the World Trade  Center Rescue and Volunteer Program at Mount Sinai Hospital;  Faculty,  Trauma Studies Center, ICP.
