I've recovered from PTSD due to child abuse, and know how I did it. So I wrote this book to try to help others recover. My book is packed with information and ideas from what I've learned over a lifetime. It starts with "first issues": Best ways to approach recovery for maximum success; finding a helper who will help; and a discussion of suicide, including causes and urgency of treatment. Next come the obstacles to recovery, including defenses such as denial. Then what abuse makes you feel about yourself, and how it affects relationships with others. Then we discuss the problem feelings: Anger, grief, fear, and PTSD itself. Then come my strategies and tools for recovery. Anti-depressants and other meds. How to be a good communicator. Standing up to your abuser. Understanding and changing your self-talk and self-image. Using positive mental attitude. Finding and living your own life. The power of goals. These have all worked for me, and helped me recover. Finally, there's a discussion about relationships in your life. The spouse and children, and even the abuser. Work relationships, too. Here I show how I've learned to manage these relationships and make them positive and good. And I suggest the time and terms for forgiveness. Perhaps you'll agree that if I've succeeded in delivering on all these subjects, my book is worth reading. I've done all I can to make it so, for you.
