Excellent book that describes how to effectively understand and heal anxiety, perfectionism, guilt, shame, etc. I'll be referring back to it often when I am "triggered" into an emotional flashback, typically feeling sudden panic or fear over some benign incident. This, and the book Whole Again, have been extremely helpful on my journey.

My therapist suggested this one after diagnosing me with CPTSD. I keep insisting that 90% of my trauma comes from my narcissistic brother and a really bad ex...all things I experienced as an adult..but she still wanted me to read this book.

Maybe it can be helpful for the right person, maybe I could've also gotten more out of it if the author would've trimmed out some of the excess stuff and stopped flipping between she and he (seriously just pick a gender neutral term) so I could've followed it with more ease. But this was definitely not the book for me. Maybe my therapist can give a better recommendation...

Un buen libro para la introducción al trauma complejo y sus componentes. Las anécdotas personales del autor y sus experiencias con sus clientes ilustran muy bien la teoría que expone.
Como herramienta terapéutica, pienso que puede ser muy útil para el lector interesado en comprender su trauma y mecanismos de lidiar con este. El primer paso para sanar es la psicoeducación del cliente y creo que el libro aborda la labor de forma amigable para el lector en general o psicoterapeutas que buscan aplicar este abordaje con sus consultantes.
A veces me pareció algo repetitivo, pero rescatar información de capítulos pasados a veces es un recurso necesario para darse a entender.
