Parenting with PTSD is an anthology and workbook for parents who are survivors of childhood abuse. Editors Joyelle Brandt and Dawn Daum are survivors of childhood abuse working to break the cycle for their own families. Raising children as an abuse survivor is often a lonely and isolating experience, as the triggers and flashbacks of abuse can be hard for non-survivors to understand. When they were looking for stories of how other survivors coped, and couldn't find any, they decided that something needed to change. So together they started an online community specifically for parent survivors, and started collecting essays to create Parenting with PTSD. Breaking the silence allows for an honest conversation about the lifetime journey of healing from childhood trauma. This is a combination of essays, journal questions, and recommended resources. It is intended to be a starting point to more conversations about how we can heal both individually and within our families, communities, and institutions. Our Mission: 1. To build a supportive community for parenting survivors, normalize the PTSD responses they may be having, and share resources for healing from adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) or other traumatic events. 2. To educate professionals working in the fields of physical, mental, and social health about common triggers that arise for parents with PTSD, and the challenges they experience while working to break cycles of generational dysfunction and abuse. 3. To help partners and families better understand the experience of parenting for abuse survivors.

Highly recommend.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 10, 2020

Not really a guide on how to parent with ptsd but more of a compilation of honest stories parents share with all sorts of struggles and backgrounds with ptsd being the unifying thread. Everyone is bound to find at least one story they can relate to and as such, some of the shame and guilt is lifted. This is a good beginning step that can validate your pain, remind you that tire not alone and give you strength to find your next step.

It was deeply supportive to read the honest words of parents who understand. It's amazing how challenging and transformational it can be to parent with PTSD. It was the impact I was having on my son fueled by the deep love I feel for him, that compelled me to find solutions. After decades of mere survival, I found true, deep healing and that requires being with the truth of the impact of trauma on my life. The writers in this book get that and I feel like I'm no longer alone on this journey. I feel so inspired to make my own contribution to trauma healing. If you're a parent and you have PTSD, I highly recommend this book. Same for anyone in the helping professions: doctors, trauma workers, therapist, social service workers, doulas, midwives ... This book will expand your capacity to understand and to help.

Lots of short stories and experiences from those afflicted from childhood abuse. I bought it to get a broader understanding of how PTSD effects us as adults and to see how triggers relate to those events.

So thankful that the authors of this book and Trigger Points have had the courage to give a voice to something so many of us experience - doing our best to parent with the struggles that come from childhood trauma. No child comes with a manual, but there are many manuals for child-rearing available. Not many take into account the added dimension that personal trauma adds to the complexities of being Mommy or Daddy.

Sounds like an exaggeration but truly - this book has changed my life. I thought I was alone. I cant express how much I needed to read this and how much it has helped me recognize when I am being "triggered" by my past. I read this book in 1 day. I highly recommend buying it.
