2.0 out of 5 stars
relaxation tape at best,
By DW_218 (NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Recovering From Trauma : Violent Crime, Car Accidents, and Disasters (Audio Cassette)
Again, I bought another audiovisual product about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and I was highly disappointed. This is an okay relaxation tape, but there are a million of these on the market! It only gives you a brief summary of what PTSD is, and then teaches some relaxation techniques that really can be used for any type of stress. I feel like I wasted my money again! I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. If you are just looking for a way to relax your muscles and relieve stress, I'm sure there are better tapes out there. Again, the tape doesn't really delve into PTSD, a horrible disorder!! I'm still looking for some good information about this mental illness, but yet to find any!!:(

Pain Relief, At Last,
By SPENCER A CONWAY (Goleta, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Recovering From Trauma : Violent Crime, Car Accidents, and Disasters (Audio Cassette)
I was recently involved in a car accident that left me shaken and in pain. My neck, back, and shoulders felt like I had been hit with a brick. But worse than this was the anxiety and tension I was carrying since the crash. Things did not start turning around for me until I started listening to this tape, and letting go of the excess muscle tension that I had been holding in my body. Ms. Dorfman's voice is soothing, and the excercise she leads you through is relaxing. The information she provides about recovering from trauma is helpful, and helped me realize that what I was going through was normal.
