Showing results for "the master" in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders

Have you ever had a memory that, when brought up again, brings out the worst emotions in you? Perhaps it's an overwhelming sense of fear that you feel, despair, grief, or embarrassment. It takes control of your current self, and although the experience happened yesterday, a year ago, or even a decade ago, the vividness of that memory has a huge impact on how you perceive the world today. What if you could rewrite that memory and associate new feelings with it? Would you choose to be happy with, satisfied with, or even entertained by that memory instead?

This book gives the definitions, prevalence, and causes of PTSD with a primary focus on the baby boomer population. Relying on clinical research and the Diagnostic and Statistical Model of Mental Health Disorders (DSM), Gabrielle explores the seven early warning signs and stresses the importance of seeking early treatment. She details the treatment options the American Psychological Association (APA) recommends.
