When you experience a traumatic event in your life your mind reacts defensively. Your brain automatically puts up a barrier from the trauma to your mind to ward off the pain you experienced. Learn why your brain and body become separate entities and how to integrate them back in harmony to heal and begin to move forward with your life.
You may never know exactly how you will react during a traumatic event, but afterwards you may feel like you have become reactive and defensive. Understand why you resist accepting help from anyone ever again. Is your mind just protecting you from further trauma, or are you cutting the whole world off to a fault?

Most people don't understand what CPTSD or PTSD is. They recognize PTSD as being a thing that happens only to veterans who have been put through wartime suffering. But what about other people who experience an extreme amount of trauma or experience a prolonged existence full of negative events? What conditions do they come out of the trauma with? How is that trauma (the trauma of wartime) any different from the suffering that comes out of a romantically abusive relationship? How is the trauma of a soldier different from the trauma of a child who hides in his closet; both of them fearful of the people and the danger that is on the other side of a barrier?
The truth of the matter is this: a person can experience complex PTSD (CTPSD) from any kind of event or events which make them feel helpless or hopeless. These events can be rape, childhood abuse or neglect, emotional trauma, extreme weather, bullying in a romantic relationship, bullying from your friends or coworkers, shaming and embarrassment from parents and teachers, and more.
Complex PTSD changes the brain in many ways. It atrophies the parts of the brain which make us want to pursue new learning experiences. Traumatic events agitate the central nervous system by overwhelming the body with the stress hormone cortisol.
If you’re ready to tackle the fears that hold you back, this book is your go-to guide. Packed with the most effective skills for assessing and surviving anxiety and complex ptsd disorders, this evidence-based workbook will help you develop a full arsenal of skills for quieting fears and taking charge of your anxious thoughts.

The things we think we know

The book shows us, albeit with some briefness, different levels of hurt one might go through when suffering from CPTSD.
