Publisher's Synopsis
Find Relief from Emotional Trauma
"The self-healing process mapped out in Keep Pain in the Past is based on decades of successful treatment of patients and offers help and hope to those who need it."-Dr. John Duffy, author of Parenting the New Teen in the Age of Anxiety.
Move on from the grief and trauma of your past. Created by two experienced psychologists, discover a step-by-step wellness process that has provided relief for their patients.
Heal old wounds. Contrary to what many people believe, we can recover from emotional trauma on our own, without thousands of dollars spent on therapists. Whether it is extreme trauma such as sexual abuse or the horrors of war or less dramatic shame and guilt, we don't need to spend years in intensive therapy to recover.
A 21st century skill for treating emotional trauma. While most people know what can be done to treat physical ills―like using ice on a muscle sprain―they don't realize they can apply certain psychological principles to treat anxiety, depression, and other conditions.
Learn from the success of others. Discover how Sheri, a 37-year-old attorney, recovered from panic attacks that seemed to come out of nowhere. Follow the journey of Mark, a 29-year-old Army veteran who experienced the horror of war in Afghanistan, as he healed from the downward spiral that had caused him to lose his job and become increasingly uncommunicative with his family. Explore how Melinda, a 42-year-old professor who struggled to sustain a romantic relationship, confronted her torturous childhood and found love that is still going strong after three years.
Inside find:
- Tips on how to confront your emotional baggage
- Advice on reaching closure
- A path to a life not haunted by the trauma of your past
