And not just a broken-bones-CPS-got-involved-kind of childhood, but a childhood with parents who had minimal attunement, who were sharp tongued more often than not, who had addictions, even if those addictions were seemingly under control- they weren't. Morgan Blackledge.

I also wrote it from the viewpoint of someone who has discovered many silver linings in the long, windy, bumpy road of recovering from Cptsd. I felt encouraged to write this book because of thousands of e-mail responses to the articles on my website that repeatedly expressed gratitude for the helpfulness of my work. An often echoed comment sounded like this: At last someone gets it. I can see now that I am not bad, defective or crazy

Ptsd from surviving to thriving

Walking through life was a continual nagging that my life was being held back, that I wasn't able to achieve the dreams I had. Even when those dreams were seemingly run of the mill. To be a wife, mum and raise a healthy family. When I first read this book I shed tears of pure relief. Finally, someone understood what I could never put into words.

A sequence of triggered negative thinking often called a 'shame spiral. While reading, I had to constantly remind myself that I was not a bad person and that I was doing the best I can both things are true , but I still felt insulted and shamed. So, first things first: C-PTSD is not in the DSM and therefore isn't an official diagnosis, though there are a lot of websites that talk about it and some mental health professionals that claim to? More to come I'm sure once I re-read the book about 3 more times. Join the discussion. Jump to ratings and reviews. What an incredible achievement it is when any two of us crate such an authentic and supportive relationship! Especially enlightening was his lengthy reflection on fawn types. There are many elements that make this self-recovery book stand above others for me. The effects of such a flashback can be observed in MRI, it is an over activation of the right brain where emotion and childhood memory reside and greatly deactivated left brain activity in the areas of reason. The author emphasizes ability to feel, to be depressed, to feel anger and to grieve. I'm changing the rating from 3 to 1, so it would be a reminder to me. Anger is also a right brain emotion, that properly directed, can aggressively short-circuit the inner-critic not by attacking the self but outward to irrational fears, and toxic relationships.

Whether or not something is in the DSM isn't the be-all and end-all of psychological care as it's a text summarizing current state of thinking on a very fuzzy subject rather than some kind of textbook relying on hard science and numbers. Walker offers brilliant, seemingly omniscient insight into not just PTSD but childhood trauma in general, and offers a clear, concise approach to recovery. That being said. For the first time, I could look at the world- my world, my life- and see clearly for the first time. The explanations of that micro level and how to tune in to yourself and be in compassionate space while doing it- makes this book worth more than gold. The book is very focused on narcissistic abuse as a source trauma. Walker mentioned having a 'gearbox' to allow flight types to engage life at a variety of speeds, including neutral - that concept was so helpful. Join the discussion. His experiences were clearly valuable as he uses them to outline his understanding of what C-PTSD is, its root causes, how it presents inwardly, outwardly, and relationally, as well as tools that both survivors and practitioners can have in their toolkit to facilitate recovery. All are often accompanied by social isolation that only reinforces the shame and fear.
