This workbook for survivors of trauma emphasizes strategies for coping in the present and does not ask readers to dwell on the traumatic experience itself. Brief vignettes are noted with a symbol so that readers can skip them if they are too distressing. Readers will find strategies for self-care focusing on five basic psychological needs: safety, trust, control, self esteem, and intimacy. Worksheet pages provide space for responding to questionnaires and exercises. Scripts for relaxation and visualization exercises are also included. This second edition contains a new section on managing emotions through mindfulness, and a new appendix on taking care of yourself in healthcare settings.
