Written by a team of experts in the treatment of post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD), this workbook offers powerful, symptom-specific skills
from a variety of empirically supported cognitive behavioral therapy
(CBT) treatments, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT),
dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and--for the first time--cognitive
processing therapy (CPT).
PTSD is a debilitating condition that can leave you feeling numb,
irritable, on guard, and distant. You may experience flashbacks and
traumatic memories, suffer with sleep difficulties and nightmares, and
struggle to manage intense emotions, impulses, and the desire to avoid
closeness. But there has been rapid growth in the research and treatment
of PTSD. This book combines the very best in proven-effective treatments
to address specific symptoms, from the least disruptive to the most
severe.
Presenting tools drawn from a number of approaches and treatment
models--such as ACT, DBT, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT),
exposure treatment, behavioral activation, imagery rehearsal therapy,
and a highly effective, twelve-session cognitive processing therapy
(CPT) program, The Cognitive Behavioral Coping Skills Workbook for
PTSD can help you overcome the most common and most difficult
challenges people with PTSD face.
This practical guide is loaded with research-based skills from the most
effective PTSD treatments available to help you manage your symptoms,
reclaim your well-being, and maintain your recovery.
