| Summary |
"The causes of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder range from severe neglect to monstrous abuse. Many survivors grow up in houses that are not homes-- in families that are as loveless as orphanages and sometimes as dangerous. If you felt unwanted, unliked, rejected, hated and/or despised for a lengthy portion of your childhood, trauma may be deeply ingrained in your mind, soul and body. This book is a practical, user-friendly self-help guide to recovering from the lingering effects of childhood trauma, and to achieving a rich and fulfilling life"--Back cover. |
