| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. | |

I've had the book for about two months now. I've used lot's of stuff out of it, but I haven't sat down and actually worked through it yet. I want to do it once I'm a little more settled with the new therapist.

What is the PTSD workbook? Who is the author? Is it something worth buying and completing? Thanks. |

It is pretty much as the title describes... The PTSD Woorkbook. Full of exercises to help you put on paper thoughts feelings and look at the way you think and ways to help. Answer a lot of questions in it and has blanks for you to fill out. I am just starting to try to work through it. Not easy and makes you really dig in yourself. I would suggest it. By Mary Beth Williams and Soili Poijula.
I would also suggest in combination buy I Can't Get Over It by Aphrodite Matsakis. That one is worth it weight in gold. It is called by others around here the "PTSD Bible" it is so good.
I bought the two after seeing Anthony suggest it to another. I wish I had the I Can't Get Over It long ago, and I am still trying to work through the exercises of The PTSD Woorkbook. It is like a major exam, but I see how if we can complete it it would be very beneficial. |

Oh okay thanks veiled. I have "I Can't Get Over It"... my psychiatrist gave it to me a while ago but I've never read it... guess I should if it's considered so good. I will look for the workbook as well. |

I looked both books up on Amazon and read the publisher's 'blurb' and the reviews on both books. I order both today. According to Amazon, I saved money on shipping by buying both at the same time. Getting healty and saving money...does it get much better than this? :biggrin: |

I feel silly doing the exercises! I keep meaning to do some of them in my journal, which somehow feels less hokey. The info in the book is great, though. |
