The PTSD Field Manual

Beschreibung

PTSD and Moral Injury are soul damaging. Trauma warps our fundamental belief systems-beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world-leaving us in a constant state of uncertainty and self-doubt. Many people who are suffering from Moral Injury or PTSD often feel they don't deserve to get better. This is toxic shame. Let me tell you a little secret. You Deserve to heal! It's 100% okay not to feel all-in right now. Let me ask you this instead. Is it possible that you are stronger than you think? Would you be willing to find out? Keep reading. I'm going to teach you everything I wish I knew when I started my recovery from PTSD and Moral Injury. We're going to touch on all the symptoms invading your day-to-day life.Trauma and Triggers Flashbacks and Hallucinations Substance Abuse and Alcoholism Irritable Behavior and Angry Outbursts Shame, Self-Loathing, and Self-Destructive Behavior Avoidance Lack of Empathy and Relationship Breakdowns Once we've shined a light on how PTSD and Moral Injury have disrupted your life, we're going to cover the top three evidence-based treatment options you'll want to ask for by name. This book does not waste time cutting through the bull and getting down to brass tacks. Told in the voice of a Soldier-turned-therapist, it is a call to arms, offering facts, empathy, and direction, while urging Service Members to seek the right therapy, helping family members to understand the battlefield, and connecting civilians with the Warrior culture. As a therapist, Virginia Cruse was becoming frustrated with the rumors her clients heard about PTSD that kept them from getting better. Why did so many of them believe PTSD couldn't be treated? Why did so many feel shame for non-combat related PTSD? Others believed they deserved to have PTSD but didn't deserve to get better. All the rumors, worthless information, and toxic shaming hit home hard with Cruse, who herself struggled with her own debilitating PTSD. No one had taken the time to explain PTSD and Moral Injury to Service Members in a way that made sense. Virginia Cruse has made it her mission to get the right information out there so people can gain access to the help they need.
