What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?
What does it feel like?
How can it be overcome?
Trauma is a term that many find alienating and clinical. It only seems relevant to those who have been through wars or disasters. But trauma is something most people encounter at some point in life and post traumatic stress, far from being a mental disorder, is a normal reaction to abnormal events - even breaking a bone or seeing a car crash.
In this book, Roger Baker explains the symptoms of post traumatic stress. Based on twenty years of research and clinical practice, he lays out a self help programme, Emotional Processing Therapy, which can defuse the distressing memories of trauma and reduce the occurrence of flashbacks, nightmare and tension. It is not just a treatment programme. Dr Baker shows what can be done to prevent post traumatic stress. "Knowing how to face trauma and minimise the worst ravages is a skill that we can all benefit on".
