This book examines complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), which arises from childhood trauma. It can develop in children of all ages if parents are insufficiently loving and patient, are overly demanding, overly self-absorbed, use corporal punishment, humiliate the child verbally, physically, or psychologically, or resort to various forms of violence.
Children growing up in such conditions develop defensive reactions from an early age that, in adulthood, prevent them from loving, trusting, and building fulfilling relationships. This becomes the basis for the development of CPTSD. The author offers her own healing method based on cognitive behavioral therapy approaches.
This book is intended for practicing psychotherapists and their clients with CPTSD and can also be used as a self-help guide for those who have experienced childhood trauma.
"Pete Walker's new book is an invaluable and comprehensive resource for anyone with a history of childhood trauma." "This book will undoubtedly be useful for both clients and clinicians," notes Julia Scheinman, M.A.
The causes of c-PTSD caused by childhood trauma are varied, ranging from overly strict parenting to domestic violence. Many people raised in seemingly "normal" families did not receive the love and support they needed, instead living in an atmosphere of fear, neglect, and stress. Even with their parents alive, they felt like orphans.
As adults, they continue to face the consequences of "toxic parenting." If a person felt unloved, rejected, or unwanted as a child, this can profoundly impact their psyche and emotional well-being.
This book is a practical guide to recovery from childhood trauma. It features the stories of the author and his clients, and describes their paths to healing. This publication will help those seeking to overcome the effects of a difficult childhood and learn to live more fully—with trust, love, and inner support.
