Complex PTSD:From Surviving to Thriving by Peter Walker

I’ve been through lots of therapy in my life, but none specifically for CPTSD, so this book helped me a lot. There is an especially helpful 13 steps for managing ‘flashbacks’ that I typed up and keep with me. Just realizing that my anxiety attacks were actually flashbacks was kind of liberating!

My heart goes out to you,
Take care,
C.
