completely natural reaction, and it's perfectly OK to take your time to
heal. There are no right or wrong ways to recover from post-traumatic

life-affirming, interactive workbook by psychotherapist Monica Lang is
filled with powerful thoughts, meditations, and exercises that will help
you to:

Understand and process your feelings and reactions to trauma
Handle your grief, bad dreams, flashbacks, and anxiety with inspiring
activities and exercises
Discover a renewed sense of peace through self-care and techniques to calm
the mind and body
Strengthen your relationships and get the support you need
