Overcoming Trauma and PTSD: A Workbook Integrating Skills from ACT, DBT, and CBT Description
If you’ve experienced a traumatic event, you may feel a wide range of emotions, such as anxiety, anger, fear, and depression. The truth is that there is no right or wrong way to react to trauma; but there are ways that you can heal from your experience, and uncover your own capacity for resilience, growth, and recovery.
Overcoming Trauma and PTSD offers proven-effective treatments based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you overcome both the physical and emotional symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This book will help you find relief from painful flashbacks, insomnia, or other symptoms you might be experiencing. Also included are worksheets, checklists, and exercises to help you start feeling better and begin your journey on the road to recovery.
This book will help you manage your anxiety and stop avoiding certain situations, cope with painful memories and nightmares, and determine if you need to see a therapist. Perhaps most importantly, it will help you to develop a support system so that you can you heal and move forward.

"Proprietarianism" has ruled the world of psychotherapy every bit as much psychopharamcology. Freud, Adler and Jung had their day. Then Watson, Skinner and Foa. Then Ellis, Beck, Meichenbaum, and McKay. Then Linehan, Hayes, Kabat-Zinn and Siegel. Everyone contributed enormously, but at least seemed to assert that his or her particular "way" was somehow "better" than the others.
Raja provides a glimpse into the non-proprietary future of the so-called "mindfulness therapies." The "essentials" are pretty much all here: CBT's (and REBT's) belief identification and questioning as well as graded exposure to uncomfortable feelings, DBT's radical acceptance and distress tolerance, ACT's being with what is =and= moving towards what really matters.
