      INTRODUCTION

      Nearly everyone is touched by some type of trauma in their lives. It is unavoidable because life has its ups and downs and no matter the age of the person, disturbances occur, and suffering follows. However, what we do with that pain, the way we use it or express it, is a determining factor and indication of whether or not we will be able to deal with our thoughts and feelings in a healthy way or seek outside help.

      It is completely normal to feel depressed and anxious after experiencing trauma especially when upsetting memories and thoughts linger and seem to replay like a haunting video.

      Instead of fighting these feelings and instead of blaming yourself for what is a completely normal response to traumatic events, this book provides you simple, effective strategies for dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), managing different trauma symptoms and building a completely new set of strengths you can use when coping with negative feelings.

      The book provides a user-friendly strategy set for everyone out there seeking ways for dealing with past traumatic experiences which can put a strain on their future without them even noticing.

      With this book, you get to explore different mindfulness practices which can help you on your PTSD recovery journey. It can teach you how to properly deal with distress and how to cultivate an attitude of kindness and compassion to project on yourself as well as on other people.

      Here, you will also find valuable tips and techniques you can incorporate into your lifestyle
