Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be a confusing and debitilitating injury - not only for those who are struggling with it themselves, but also for those around them. This easy-to-read book explains how trauma can affect the mind and body and provides practical evidence-based coping strategies to help to manage distress. The metaphor of the valley of the shadow of death is used to explain the experience of trauma and the stages of healing. This book was written to be applicable to diverse traumatic experiences - as trauma affects people in many of the same ways regardless of the type of trauma. This book is a must-have resource for survivors of trauma, their loved ones, and the professionals and associations who support them.

Treating PTSD

Treating PTSD presents a comprehensive, compassion-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach that provides therapists with the evidence-based information they need to understand trauma’s effects on the mind and body as well as the phases of healing. Chapters offer discussion, practical tools, and interventions that therapists can use with clients suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to reduce feelings of distress and increase their sense of safety. Readers are introduced to the metaphor of "the valley of the shadow of death" to explain the experience of PTSD; they’re also shown how to identify the work they’ll need to do as therapists to accompany clients on their healing journey. Two new compassion-focused CBT interventions for trauma processing are also introduced.

Author Porter says, In everyone's life, we all endure the highs and the lows. It's up to us how we respond to the sudden seasons of failed marriages, loss of loved ones, a job, and finances. Simple Pleasures was inspired during one of those sudden seasons.
