    • Waste of time and money
If I had no knowledge about C-PTSD, this book might be a helpful introduction. But it is ineffective as a workbook because it treats the problem in pieces rather than as a whole. It provides a nice overview of the range of interventions that a therapist might use to treat C-PTSD, but the primary focus of the "exercises" is to ask the reader to write their thoughts about a specific intervention. The back cover of the book presents two assertions: 1) "The exercises and examples in The Complex PTSD Workbook will safely guide yu to explore the emotions and manifestions of your own PTSD" and 2) "The Complex PTSD Workbook aims to empower you with a thorough understanding of the psychology and physiology of trauma...." Neither of these statements is true. The summary resource list (pages 163 and 164 of the book) includes things like "replace negative self-statements with positive beliefs, consciously breathe with a 4-count inhale and a 4-count exhale, half-smile to cultivate a sense of serenity, allow yourself to be vulnerable, go for a savoring walk, reassert healthy boundaries by saying no or asking for what you need." These are perfectly viable things to do, but they don't, in my opinion, help me "navigate the complicated and often overwhelming terrain of complex PTSD" or empower me "with a thorough understanding of the psychology and physiology of trauma." The book wasn't worth my time and money. ... show more

When I buy a workbook, I like to know how much is truly given to “work”—how much white space is there? I couldn’t find that online so I’ve included pics here from Chapter 1. There are approximately 6 writing spaces of varying length, and I’ve tried to include a variety of them so you get an idea of the flow of the book. Included the Foreword as I think it helps set clear expectations about what this book aims (and doesn’t aim) to do. Hope this helps. Will try to update when I have gotten more into it... ... show more

    • The best book for C-PTSD

This book is a life saver. My doctors had me convinced that none of my problems were related, but after reading through this, the exercises helped me start managing my mental and physical problems stemming from my C-PTSD. The chapters are laid out very well and have quite a few helpful exercises throughout, as well as a chapter review at the end of each chapter. It not only gives you coping resources and both little known & common information about C-PTSD, but it also gives you a rundown of your treatment options and goal setting. This is by far the best book I've read about C-PTSD and my therapist agrees. We've actually worked it into my therapy because it's so helpful! Do yourself a favour and read this if you struggle with C-PTSD. ... show more

I am a psychologist in private practice and I found this book to be one of the best written and most helpful books for complex PTSD I have come across. I encourage my clients to get the book and we work through it together. Thank you so much for writing such a comprehensive and well-thought out book. ... show more

    • Schwartz’s book feels more like a book that you might curl up with on ...
Dr. Schwartz’s book offers a golden thread of hope to help guide individuals through healing from childhood trauma. Individuals struggling with C-PTSD often have spent much of their lives shrouded in fear, isolation, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. If I had to pick one key takeaway from this workbook, it would be validation. Through accessible education, affirmation, and gentle prompts toward self-exploration, Dr. Schwartz validates the often confusing and overwhelming experience of those that who have experienced childhood trauma and empowers them to take part in their healing. For the professional, Dr. Schwartz’s workbook could be considered a physical manifestation of the hope that we hold for our clients in their most troublesome of times. It is a guide that provides concrete information about the etiology, symptoms, possible barriers, and pathways to healing from C-PTSD. Dr. Schwartz’s warmth and compassion are evident in her writing, offering an extension of the healing relationship experienced in the therapist’s office. Aesthetically, this workbook is different from what you might expect from a self-help workbook. The cover has a lovely softness that invites you to hold it in your hands and just notice. The size of this workbook is smaller than the usual 8.5 x 11 where you might feel compelled to sit at a desk and “do your homework.” Rather, Dr. Schwartz’s book feels more like a book that you might curl up with on the couch, along with your favorite pen, to reflect at the end of chapters and note the passages that resonate with your experience. Each chapter begins with an image, a window into nature, a place of simple but profound beauty. Brief passages of wisdom and reassurance are easily accessible by just flipping through the book and noticing the orange text near your fingertips. Passages in blue text convey the real experiences of individuals healing from C-PTSD and thus, reminding the reader that they are not, in fact, alone. This workbook is empowering and a companion for individuals who have experienced childhood trauma, a comprehensive overview for those interested in understanding more about C-PTSD, and a valuable tool for professionals to share with their clients as they partner on the journey toward healing from C-PTSD. ... show more

    • Terrible.
This "workbook" isn't for people who have trauma. It's written with one specific person who has trauma in mind: herself. Also very superficial. I cringed when I read the line about moms with PTSD being anxious or overprotective. What self-forgiving nonsense and inappropriate, given that C PTSD usually happens in the context of family and happens to kids. I.e. her target audience is moms like her focused on their own suffering, not children who might have a mom like her. Target audience is clearly "white middle aged adult women with young kids." Didn't relate, also info seemed simplistic ... show more
