About this listen

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.

One of the top 3 best books I read / have listened to so far. Insightful, with useful advice and tips on how to heal complex trauma. Validating complex, sometimes frightening and puzzling experiences I didn't understand before. Just finished listening to it the second time and will return to it again soon.

Very Helpful

I started to read this book because I read somewhere, that it is the first place the term "Fawning" was first used. The concepts in this book really hit home, and I'm drawn to finish it to the end because it resonates so much - for some one who has suffered CPTSD, it is a life changing concept and book. I don't usually leave reviews but in this case I had to because the book is narrated in such a monotone fashion, that it seems like every sentence uttered, is like a line line from a bad bad bad movie trailer. For the love of God please change it up !!!
