Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung - Vom Überleben zu neuem Leben

A complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) is neither innate nor character-related. Based on this fundamental thesis, author and therapist Pete Walker has developed his unique multimodal approach to (self-)help, which has gained him international recognition. Written from the perspective of someone affected and a highly specialized therapist at the same time, Walker combines authenticity and professional expertise in this book into a distinct methodological concept that has already provided countless individuals with a new quality of life. The most common trauma-related disorders include emotional flashbacks, toxic shame, self-neglect, social anxieties, and other distressing symptoms. Walker identifies the key factors for overcoming these issues as strengthening personal resources for self-help and fostering successful relationships. These can be relationships with friends, partners, teachers, therapists, therapy groups, or any combination thereof. Walker refers to this as communal reparenting. With its solution- and practice-oriented structure, numerous case studies, and clear and precise language, Walker's workbook is an indispensable companion for both therapists and individuals on the path out of trauma. "Pete Walker's work on complex PTSD is one of those models that both clients and practitioners can easily understand. It is a truly collaborative approach. When I use this framework in workshops, participants always find it helpful. The concept is easy for both practitioners and clients to grasp. Users resonate with the practical guidance Walker offers for normalizing and coping with emotional flashbacks that impair quality of life." - Dr. Claudia J. Dewane, Associate Prof., Temple University.
