The causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grew up in houses that were not homes - in families that were as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated, and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply engrained in your mind, soul, and body.

This book is a practical guide to recovering from lingering childhood trauma. It is copiously illustrated with examples of the author's and his clients' journeys of recovering. It is a comprehensive self-help guide for working through the toxic legacy of the past and for achieving a rich and fulfilling life.

In 2016 after years of being on the treadmill of life and trying to heal my inner pain of 13 years of sexual abuse and loss, abandonment and betrayal I came across this book as a hard copy. I had spent years and huge sums of money trying to heal and years prior to self-medicating with alcohol and unhappy relationships books and modalities and more. This book was a turning point, a lifeboat and my saving grace. If you have any abuse from childhood and any type then this book will help you unravel that pain. I know how deep the pain is for many and how overlooked childhood trauma is in real time. Many think because your an adult you just let it go or hand it over to a higher power or God or something else. The truth in this book will solve so much for you I have no words to explain at the depths it has allowed me to stand up and speak my truth and be the truth. Therapy without psychoeducation does not serve those who have had childhood trauma. This book will allow you to MEET yourself fully and then you will be ready to meet your own needs and to know you are not alone and will help heal the worst of the worst.

This booked opened my eyes up to my own suffering as well as the different types of sufferings that others experience and why.

Turning shame to anger and fear to tears. The steps for managing flashbacks is especially good. The terminology and explanations come from a place of neutrality in the language used to explain these and repetition of key points and downloadable pdfs helps with self help.

The book doesn’t downplay the difficulties in overcoming this illness and contradicts the advice (In a good way) that other people might give as advice in every day life such as “You have to forgive people in your past to be happy”. “Sometimes people just have a funny way of showing they love you”. Properly directing the blame and venting the anger was something I hadn’t done before reading this book and it’s helped me start the process of grieving.

Thank you Pete for writing this book and Paul for reading it.

Helpful, insightful and from a place of experience

this book has opened my eyes to alot of ways I was unconsciously behaving throughout my whole life. I have struggled with mental health problems for 20 years and did not know exactly what was causing my issues, due to the complexity of it. this book has helped give me an insight into my complex ptsd and it's roots. I plan to thoroughly study this book and apply the tools discussed in hope of over coming and freeing myself from it. highly recommend.
