- Effective, integrative trauma-healing techniques for body, mind and soul
Customer Reviews
“This second edition of Overcoming Traumatic Stress is extremely well-written and a valuable recommendation to give to patients who have suffered trauma. It offers an excellent companion to working with people across the range from single traumatic events to Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as Dr Herbert manages to cover a broad range of symptoms and experience in this one volume.
There are clear step-by-step descriptions of practical exercises for people to use, either purely as self-help, or as part of therapy. The exercises are mainly derived from cognitive behavioural therapy, but a particular strength of the book is that they are not limited to CBT and they introduce people to techniques from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), mindfulness and beyond.
Sensitively and compassionately written, I strongly recommend this book.”
