This book is critically relevant to health workers and others who may develop PTSD because of extreme stress. In the 1970s, I experienced deep traumas while running a hospital in the Central African bush where I had to ration care because of severe shortages of medicines - a situation very similar to the decisions faced by physicians, nurses and EMTs in our overburdened health systems. During my long career I had repetitive exposure to traumas in places like Afghanistan during the war, Haiti after the earthquake, and Liberia during the Ebola crisis. My lifetime spent in support of hospitals in the world’s trouble spots has been filled with perilous yet life-affirming experiences. This book includes:Understand C-PTSD-Get an in-depth explanation of complex PTSD, including its symptoms, its treatment through various therapies, and more.Address the symptoms-Discover evidence-based strategies for healing the symptoms of complex PTSD, like avoidance, depression, emotional dysregulation, and hopelessness.Real stories-Relate to others’ experiences with complex PTSD with multiple real-life examples included in each chapter.This book will help you manage your anxiety and stop avoiding certain situations, cope with painful memories and nightmares, and determine if you need to see a therapist. Perhaps most importantly, it will help you to develop a support system so that you can you heal and move forward.
