Synopsis

People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suffer with disturbing mental images and memories that cause stress and tension and make it difficult to concentrate on the here and now. The Mind-Body Workbook for PTSD presents a healing ten-week program that helps PTSD sufferers train their minds to focus on their bodies without distraction. Using this method, readers can short-circuit painful memories and symptoms of PTSD.

This workbook teaches mind-body techniques drawn from biofeedback, progressive muscle relaxation, autogenic training, meditation, cognitive behavioral therapy, and hypnosis. These techniques, taught through short, simple mindfulness writing exercises, help readers bring forward traumatic thoughts and flashbacks and come to terms with rumination and stress.
