Main description:

Heal Trauma and Recover from PTSD"This is a cheerleading, you-can-do-it kind of book, with step-by-step lifestyle modifications interspersed with such boldface exhortations as 'Healing happens when you value who you are' and 'You are not in denial. You are coping!" -Nancy Szokan, The Washington Post

Create a new life of PTSD recovery and healing. Put together your own personal trauma treatment toolbox!

Find out what PTSD recovery is really like. Following a critical illness, Michele Rosenthal struggled with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder for twenty-five years. Now, a post-trauma coach and award-winning writer, Rosenthal shares the tools that helped her heal from PTSD symptoms. Previously published as Heal your PTSD by the Conari Press back in 2015, this book is packed with insightful tips on how to not let PTSD symptoms control your life.

Heal trauma your own way. We know that trauma and recovery from hard things isn't easy but your path to recovery is uniquely worth it! With Your Brain is a Safe Space, you can take back control and push forward towards PTSD recovery and try new trauma release exercises that build and create a safe space to receive the inner healing that you need to thrive.

Inside, learn how to heal from trauma by:

Connecting to your own inner power and authentic self

Overcoming PTSD symptoms and recovery obstacles with unique tips and strategies

If post-traumatic growth guidebooks like The Body Keeps the Score, The Complex PTSD Workbook, or Keep Pain in the Past helped you heal trauma, then Your Brain is a Safe Space is your next read.
