Publisher's Synopsis
Traumatic experiences has profound affects that sometimes continue for years and decades after the events are done. Historically, it has always been considered that re-telling the account of what occurred will address these problems.
However, survivors have a different experience: Telling and re-telling the tale of what occurred to them typically reactivates their trauma reactions, overwhelming them rather than healing the trauma. To transcend traumatic experiences, survivors need to recognize their symptoms and emotions as normal responses to aberrant circumstances. They require techniques to manage with the symptoms that intrude on their regular activities, impeding a life beyond trauma. The route to rehabilitation is hard and unpleasant but it is important.
