I am enormously enthusiastic about this book!  In Crash Course, Diane and Laurence Heller offer more than a powerful and effective approach to healing from the trauma of auto accidents.  They also contribute a significant self-help resource to people who have gone through trauma of any kind.  The wisdom in this book, and its practical applications - including an important emphasis on accessing and strengthening resources - invites readers to take an active and empowering role in recovering from current or past trauma.  I have recommended Crash Course to my clients as a valuable support in their healing journeys.

This book is very well written and informative for helping anyone recovering from an auto accident. There are lots of useful examples and practical exercises for people to refer to. I've given Crash Course to several of my friends and they were able to use it effectively to support their healing process. I recommend it to anyone suffering from any type of trauma.

Every one who drives should know about the possible effect of Auto Accident Trauma. The Hellers did a brilliant job of bringing cutting edge trauma symptom resolution to what has been very mysterious and elusive in the past. This book breaks new ground. If you've ever been in a serious auto accident, please read this book, make it a gift to yourself. It can reduce suffering and be a facinating read at the same time.

This book provides practical and powerful information about the process of healing trauma. Dr. Diane Heller's focus is auto accident recovery, but the exercises explained in the book could be used to recover from trauma of any kind. The use of analogy and the author's clear writing make this book easy to understand and to use. Though debilitating, the symptoms of trauma can sometimes be subtle and hard to recognize as being related to the traumatic experience. It is good there is a book available that can help people recognize their symptoms and help heal them in a gentle, compassionate and effective way. Dr. Heller's methodology is unlike psychotherapy which requires the patient to re-experience the trauma by repeatedly re-telling the story. She has developed a profoundly effective method which heals without retraumatizing. I highly recommend this book - it can ONLY help.

We found this book extremely useful in a practical day-to-day manner. Offering clear and direct instructions on what to do, and when and how to do it, Crash Course leads one through the healing process in a way never available to the public before. The simplicity and yet power of this book, and its ability to help one enact positive (and not re-traumatizing) change makes it a treasure for anyone who has been in an automobile accident.

This book was a great help after my accident and I also purchased Car Accident Secrets from Amazon. Both books helped me to heal my mind and my wallet. This book helped me around the problems I was having in dealing with my accident. The other book that I purchased helped me to fight for my rights without a lawyer and settle my claim for a large sum. I am really blessed to have come across both of these books on Amazon.

As the victim of a car accident, I found this book a "must have." It explains everything you experience after the accident and helps you work through the nightmares, anxiety and whatever else you are feeling. I highly recommend this book for all accident victims, and, for anyone who has suffered a trauma.

I recommend this book to anyone who has suffered trauma from an automobile accident. I was somewhat leary of the material when I saw this book. However, upon receiving the book in the mail I am happy to say that it is extremely well written and there are excellent exercises included throughout.

i bought this book for a patient who was having a difficult time working through an accident a year earlier. i've since given or loaned this book out to nearly a dozen others. ms. heller helps the reader feel, well, not alone. he makes all those things we feel as strange to be seen as normal reactions to a non-normal, trauma. he brings the reader in, writing clearly and effectively motivating us, encouraging us to work on ourselves and begin facing life and our fears. it is written very practically offering many excellent, well-founded, effective solutions. absolutely worth the price and probably more!
