How I Recovered from Ptsd Due to Child Abuse David Mindlin 1st edition

I've recovered from PTSD due to child abuse, and know how I did it. My book is packed with information and ideas learned over a lifetime! It starts with first issues: How to approach the book and recovery for maximum success; finding a helper who will help; and a discussion of suicide, including some causes, and the urgency of treatment. Next come obstacles to recovery: Defenses, like denial. What abuse makes you feel about yourself, and how it affects relationships with others. Then we discuss the problem feelings: Anger, fear, grief, and PTSD itself. Then come my strategies and tools for recovery: Anti-depressants and other meds. How to be a good communicator. Standing up to your abuser. Changing your self-talk and self-image. Using positive mental attitude. Finding and living your own life. The power of goals. All these things have helped me to recover. Finally there's a discussion about relationships: The spouse and children. Work relationships. Even the abuser. I show how I've learned to manage these relationships, and make them positive and good. And I suggest the time and terms for forgiveness. You may agree that if I've delivered on all these subjects, my book is worth reading. I've done all I can to make it so, for you.
