Scroll Up and Click The Buy Button To Get Started PLEASE NOTE that this is an unofficial and independent workbook for the book “Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving” by Pete Walker. Review: This is not an official therapeutic workbook. - I purchased this workbook thinking it was an official companion to Pete Walker’s CPTSD book. I focused on the word “WORKBOOK” only, so that’s fully on me. I have purchased other therapeutic workbooks so I assumed this was that. It is not and not even published by his publisher. It’s strictly a study guide which in all honesty I think will be useful in helping me truly and more permanently retain the information. I will review the chapter summary after reading each chapter with that purpose in mind. I was so excited to get started after tackling the first two chapters of Pete Walker’s CPTSD book and already wrote on the page to answer the summary of chapter 1 questions and didn’t think anything of it because that chapter is not intense but upon further inspection it appears to be just a guide not much of a therapeutic workbook. To be fair it doesn’t claim to be that but having the title “Workbook for CPTSD” and the title of a highly acclaimed therapy book it can easily be mistaken for one if not closely inspected. The accompanying book to the CPTSD From Surviving to Thriving book is an official Pete Walker book called “The Tao of Fully Feeling”, which he mentions in the introduction of the CPTSD book and I will also buy that. Five stars because it does state what it is, it’s useful and crisp without printing errors. May the greatness of your resilience be with you in your own healing journey, you can do this! Review: For the Lost Child in Us All - If you truly want to start your healing journey and get to a place where you can thrive then you need this companion workbook. The book itself is good to use if you prefer to use sticky notes like I have done. But I strongly advise that you purchase the workbook as well. It helps release thoughts that may have been stirred up and contains questions to help process the things you have learned. Definitely worth the buy.
