Coping with Trauma-Related Dissociation: Skills Training for Patients and Therapists

It was a great book and very helpful and informative. The step-by-step processes was very easy to follow and the review processes were also very helpful. Overall it is a wonderful guide in helping people who suffer from dissociation and also for clinicians to help deal with people who suffer from dissociation. I recommend it.

I really am not one for labels, but it's like I feel understood for the first time. If you disassociate, struggle with your identity. This may be helpful. There's actual solutions which I like a lot!

Kostbares Buch für Betroffene.Das Buch ist sehr gut Strukturiert. Die Englische Ausgabe ist in schlichter Sprache geschrieben, was das Verständnis erleichtert. Das Buch setzt wichtige Schwerpunkte im Umgang mit Dissoziation. Für Betroffene ein guter Lehrer und LebensHelfer in schwergewichtiger Buch-Form. Leider fehlt bei der Englischen Ausgabe die CD welche bei der deutschen Ausgabe beigefügt ist. Da hätte ich gerne Zusatzinformation erhalten.

A very insightful read to better understand DID. The manual is very big and detailed. I liked the soft, kind approach to the subjects. The book contains many exercises and techniques to relieve negative symptoms and manage stress.

I am 59 yrs old have had a trauma filled life personally and in my work. I have PTSD, depression. This book has helped me understand why I turn off,how to stay present. A psychologist gave a diagnosis of dissociation,. It freaked me out, I thought I don't have multiple personalities who take over at different times. But now understand why in situations that most people cry, or are angry , I have felt nothing and and been able to ' perform' as I have been taught. My brother has always told me stay in the moment, I thought I was. But now I understand. I feel empowered. The self guided exercises I share with my councillor and even though I am only just finishing chapter 2. In 3 months it has changed my thinking and given me practical exercises to do that reinforce my learning. If you are ready to confront and be honest it's a great book to work through with a mental health practitioner.
