Editorial Reviews

Review

“This excellent workbook, based on a rich body of research, will be helpful to anyone who has experienced a sudden, incomprehensible event or suffered lifelong abuse. The authors have provided readers with a clear, comprehensive explanation of trauma, accompanied by practical yet creative exercises to help them manage their trauma symptoms. It’s also a valuable resource for clinicians as well as members of the general public striving to understand trauma and return to everyday functioning.”
—Betty Stevens-Guille, PhD, CPsych, trauma specialist, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

“For those who believe that they will never feel ‘normal’ after a traumatic event, this workbook provides many techniques that survivors can use to jump-start their recovery…an extremely important tool for growth and strength.”
—James D. Baxendale, PhD, CTS

“The PTSD Workbook, Second Edition, is an excellent resource for those directly affected by a critical or traumatic event, as well as for professionals working in the trauma field. Filled to the brink with concrete, helpful tools and useful information, it will guide the reader in reducing the untoward effects of trauma. Clinical wisdom is combined with evidence-based information in a very readable book. Having worked with trauma and loss for over thirty years I know that this book will be an indispensable guide for the field.”
—Atle Dyregrov, PhD, director at the Center for Crisis Psychology, Bergen, Norway

"This revised workbook is based on the latest research, but written with the same warmth and wisdom that informs the first edition. It is a classic for those who live with severe trauma on an ongoing basis."
—M.E. Stevens-Guille, PhD

Works well alongside therapy

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2007

Verified Purchase

I had been through therapy a few years back for a childhood trauma and thought I had put those things behind me. When they popped back up again, I found this book. Because I had been through therapy before, I was able to go through the book alone without any difficulty and with great success. It's well written, has great supports written into it if you've had the background of therapy. I wouldn't recommend it if you have never had a therapist. You do need the safety net of a therapist if you have ever had flashbacks happen to you. They can be a scary thing to go through. The part on triggers was extremely helpful, and enabled me to determine what was triggering my episodes, which actually recovered memories I didn't even realize were bothering me, which lead to more healing. The book is written so that all parts aren't applicable to everyone, but that's the joy of it. For a trauma victim, it's a keeper, because there are parts you use now, and there are parts you may use later. It's set up to be used in pieces, not from cover to cover. It's a great discovery tool. Some memories may not seem like they're worth discovering, but some are. When they had us set up an imaginary safe pace in our minds to go to when things got scary, and asked who was there, I realized I always felt the safest when my grandfather was around, who died in 1991. I dug out a picture of him and put it up in my hallway. This book is definitely my best purchase.

Helped In Polishing Tools Already Learned.

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

I purchased this book to find new resources and tools to manage my PTSD and Anxiety Disorder after a recent death in my adult life brought back.memories of childhood traumatic events.

For me this was a refresher course on some topics, that I covered in therapy at the time I first learned my "social anxiety" was actually based in a traumatic event, making it essential to work on that before I could move forward.

I was actually taken by surprise that "death" remained such a powerful trigger point for me. That I really became so overwhelmed in /by my symptoms that I didn't even notice I was dealing with P.T.S.D. exacerbation.

This book has really helpful me to "polish the tools" I already had in my toolbox (along with my Worry Box App). I would recommend this book to others. If you are just beginning to build your tool box, or if you are looking to do a refreshing of your skills.

The PTSD Workbook

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2010

Verified Purchase

I own this book. I really like the fact that I can work through the exercises on my own time, at my own pace. However, people with acute PTSD may need additional counselling and/or EMDR to work through their trauma. Some of the exercises in this book will stir up a lot of strong feelings. Be advised: this book is NOT light reading.
Addendum: The Kindle version of this book is missing some important information. The paperback version,which I also purchased later on, lists 17 symptoms of PTSD listed on pg. 45, while the kindle version lists only the first 11 symptoms. (Location 588-96)

The last 6 symptoms are:
12. difficulty imagining having a long life span and fulfilling your goals.
13. trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
14. irritability or outbursts of anger
15. difficulty concentrating
16. feeling on edge, being easily distracted, or needing to stay on guard
17. being jumpy or easily startled. (Williams and Poijula: 2002, pg.45

Hopefully, this extra information will be of use to anyone trying to figure out whether or not they have PTSD on their own.

Still working through it

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm still working through this book only about a 1/4 of the way through. I found that some of the questions really could have been written in an easier to understand language. I don't know how many times I had to ask my husband (who has the big degree) what does that mean, can you give me an example of that. It is designed well for single trauma events. I would also suggest that you see a counselor while working through this book. I found that after only working on a few pages I began to have nightmares and my anxiety level increased, you'll need to expect this. Don't work through this book without seeing a professional!

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this as a gift for a friend who has been suffering from this. They basically went a number of years without sleeping and have now started to get back on track. They said the book was very informative and helped them to identify where they are in the recovering process. It also helps them to be able to put things in perspective about the illness and how some of their everyday dealings were changed as a result of the disorder. They were extremely thankful I had given them this book. They would definitely recommend this to somebody struggling with this disorder. In this economy when you don't have health insurance and need help they felt this book would assist nicely.

Years later, I still use this book

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

Very helpful. Tips I never thought of and use. The section on insomnia and the instructions on how to train your brain to get to sleep really helped. Every time I hear someone say how they can't get to sleep often, I give them the advice from this section and they always say it worked. Helped me to identify my personal triggers, which has helped cut down on the flashbacks and anxiety. I appreciate the authors and those who took part in making this book. Thank you.

Changed My Life

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2012

Verified Purchase

I ordered the PTSD Workbook at the request of a counselor that I began to see.I felt stuck in life and was dealing with the after effects of stress over the last 10 years in my and my husband's life.It was mostly medical traumas and I was at the point where something needed to change.This book helped me to see that what I was dealing with was PTSD(soldiers are not the only ones who get this and life can seem like a war even when you're not on the battlefield somewhere!) and as I worked through it and prayed to God for healing I began to improve.The exercises in this book were immensely helpful to me in the healing process and I highly recommend it as it's very practical and down to earth and just well written.~Sharon Goemaere The PTSD Workbook: Simple, Effective Techniques for Overcoming Traumatic Stress Symptoms

I sent this book as a gift and the feedback from the recipient, who has yet to undergo proper therapy, has been outstanding. Prior to ordering, I carefully reviewed each PTSD workbook listed as I myself have PTSD and felt as though this particular workbook encompassed logical methodologies and broke down the healing process in a realistic manner. I am definitely very pleased with this purchase and truly hope that others find it beneficial as well. :-)
