"A gentle guide to finding peace in the aftermath of trauma. Post-traumatic stress isn't your fault. Although some people heal quickly after they experience a traumatic event, for others, the effects of trauma can develop into post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with debilitating symptoms like nightmares, flashbacks, feelings of fear or anger, and difficulty sleeping. If you have PTSD, you may have lost your sense of who you are and struggle to relate to others. So, how do you begin healing? The mindfulness meditations in this comforting guide will help you cultivate skills you can use anytime to free yourself from suffering and bring a sense of peace, connection, and balance. Designed to target the most common symptoms of PTSD, this book offers gentle techniques for reconnecting with your body, heart, and mind. Instead of getting stuck reliving the trauma or worrying about something so painful happening again, these mindful meditations will ground you in the present moment and help you cope with difficult thoughts and feelings as they arise, so you can start living your life fully. Louanne Davis is a clinical psychologist at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. She is currently exploring the effects of yoga on PTSD symptoms."--Provided by publisher.
