Publisher's summary

Witnessing your loved one suffer hurts. Find out what you can do to support them without putting your relationship at risk...

Post-traumatic stress disorder, also known as PTSD, is an anxiety disorder that can develop after having witnessed or experienced a traumatic event. Contrary to popular belief, this condition doesn’t only affect soldiers, but also people from all backgrounds and of any age.

Did you know that an estimated 8 million adults are affected by PTSD in the US?

And that’s not counting the family and friends who feel the effects of the disorder as well.

Living with someone suffering from PTSD can prove to be extremely stressful and disheartening, as all you wish is to see them happy and acting like their normal selves.

By taking the time to educate yourself and know what to prepare for, you will have everything you need to serve as a vital piece to the recovery puzzle.

In PTSD and Relationships, you will discover:

  • How to support and encourage your loved one through their PTSD without putting your own health and happiness at risk
  • Why telling your loved one reassuring phrases such as, “Everything is going to be okay”, is actually doing them more harm than good, and what you should say instead that will aid in their recovery
  • The most effective PTSD treatments available, and how to figure out which approach would be the best option for assisting your loved one through their recovery
  • And much more

No one wants to see their best friend, family member, or spouse struggle through hardship.

Show them you’re the rock in the relationship and that they can always count on you for support and love whenever they need it, no matter the reason.

If you want to discover how you can aid your loved one through their PTSD recovery without jeopardizing your own well-being, then buy this audiobook right now.

Nice one

This book gives inside and out, bit by bit techniques for crushing sorrow. The activities and bits of knowledge in this book are particularly as opposed to winning guiding practices, which expect that on the off chance that you simply talk about your downturn, it will, in the end, settle itself

I really appreciate this book

The audiobook describes the symptomatically of anxiety, includes diagrams of the anxiety cycle, multiple worksheets, and examples of individuals in hypothetical scenarios, and how they are to manage the cognitive and behavioural aspects of the presentation of anxiety.

Such a great audiobook for us.

This is so a great audiobook and I so love how it is making. the introduction about addiction recovery is too good. this audiobook teaches us how to recovery after addiction. It's such a good audiobook. I found this book to be one of the best listen and most helpful books for complex PTSD I have come across.

Excellent

I always thought PTSD was a war stigma. Boy, were my eyes opened after listening to this book. I have a loved one who suffers from PTSD. I now understand better how to care and help. This book is so well laid out and thought through. It is an excellent book and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a family member struggling with PTSD.

The audiobook exceeded my Expectations

I feel like this audiobook was listened to about my being a victim of a narcissist. I was blind to it till I got away and saw everything how it was and not how I thought it was at the time. It's sickening that there are really people out there that are like this.

Deep and honest.

This is an excellent self-help/psychological book. One of the best I have to listen to and as a psychiatrist, I can say that it is as good as anything I have listened to.
