Sinopsis

Trauma is a term that many find alienating and clinical - it only seems relevant to those who have been through wars or lived through disasters. But in fact 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 Dr Roger Baker explains the many 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, nightmares, and tension. But it is not just a treatment program: for the first time Dr Baker shows what can be done to prevent Post Traumatic Stress. "Knowing how to face trauma," Dr Baker proposes, "and minimize its worst ravages is a skill that we can all benefit from." Full of first-hand experiences and stories of patients' progress in therapy, this is essential reading for trauma sufferers, their family and friends, and specialists alike.
