I am very sympathetic to those with ptsd but found the style and tone of this book to be such that i had to put it down.

One of the most comprehensive books I've yet to read for those suffering post traumatic stress, as well as for therapists and other professionals. Matsakis speaks clearly about PTSD, what it is, and how it affects different individuals. Her explanations of the confusion and suffering felt by victims is a breath of fresh air, and she takes the reader, step by step, through the symptoms, the effects on the body, the triggers, and then the healing process. When I began the book, I had a lot of questions that I no longer had when I finished. Personally, I feel the exercises she provides are good but should be done under the supervision of a therapist, but they are well laid out and easy to follow.
For those who want to understand this illness and learn where the hope lies, I highly recommend this book.

I was not able to finish reading this book. While it's highly rated at Amazon, which was an influence in my buying it, I did not find it helpful. In the beginning, it reiterated exercises I've been aware of for many years. I did not feel comfortable doing any of the exercises past the very first half of the book, so I'd not recommend it to people with SEVERE and CHRONIC PTSD or as a substitute for counseling.

Wonderful book! I find it a very helpful book! I am using the book as part of my therapy with my therapist. The book explains alot to me the questions that I had about myself after being raped. I recommend the book to persons who needs to overcome trauma.

This is the very first book I attempted to read after being diagnosed with PTSD. It helped me understand my unexplainable behavior and symtoms and helped me come to terms that I was not "crazy, as perceived, but simply having a normal reaction to an abnormal trauma. I would love to meet the author sometime. I HIGHLY recommenend this book.
