Can’t recommend this one enough. It’s taken me about a month to work through for two reasons.1) I wanted to really absorb all the information so I forced myself to only read in short bursts. This was sometimes not hard to do because my mind would constantly explode as I read and I’d need to collect myself.2) At about 50 pages in I started over so I could write notes as I went and I continued to copy down important bits of information up until almost the last page.For me this has been an invaluable resource in fully understanding Complex PTSD and in reaching a better understanding of myself, my childhood, and the ways in which I can continue to grow from here. If you have a history of childhood abuse and/or neglect, feel inherently “defective” or “wrong”, have toxic or absent parents, or are a therapist looking to learn more about C-PTSD this is an exhaustive, validating, enlightening, resource.Have a notebook, pens, sticky notes, highlighters —and possibly tissues — ready.

If you do have CPTSD and are reading this book, please know it is VERY triggering and it will hit painful memories and experiences but please do not quit on this book. It will just take more time to read and to go slowly with.I had set a goal to try and read 1 chapter before bed. I couldn't always do that and had Cptsd attacks/episodes (that's what I call it), flashbacks, and dissociation from it at times but you learn so, so much from this and learn new things you hadn't realised were actually part of your trauma. At least that's how it went for me but everyone is different and I hope this review encourages you to buy this book if you haven't already.

I've had PTSD for about 50 years... Had been misdiagnosed as bipolar... After learning that I had C-PTSD AND learning that I could recover from it, I bought and DEVOURED this book. Well written with easy steps to follow. It took awhile, but I was more than READY for change... I have not only recovered from the crippling PTSD, but the eating disorder and the ADD (that I thought I had) have both been resolved, as they were secondary injuries to the C-PTSD. I recommend this book to EVERYONE READY FOR HEALING... & THANK YOU PETE WALKER!! I never imagined I could ever NOT BE a walking wounded... Once I got rid of the injurious mindset, and grieved all that I had lost, or never had, it was smooth sailing to a very quiet heart and soul.

Keep picking the wrong person? Do you have chronic anxiety? Are you pretty dissatisfied with your friendships? Did you have a narcissist, self-indulgent/, self-absorbed, drama-based, and/or detached parent(s)? If any of this sounds familiar, this is a must-read!

I found this book BOTH Extremely Helpful AND I have a deep concern about one particular (and significant) tenet of it.I have C-PTSD and I am working hard to claim my life from the fallout. (I would say "reclaim", but that implies there is something to go back to.) This book poignantly describes my life - in a delightful folksy, sometimes funny way. From that perspective it was validating and comforting to know that I am not unique in this experience.Absoutely the most helpful concept was "Emotional Flashbacks". To name my sometimes debilitating emotional reactions in this way and to say that they are Proof Positive I was abused early in my childhood (before memory became explicit), helped me calm down about (1) the fact of them and (2) the implications of them. Narcissists often emphatically deny their bad behavior - which is confusing, at best.I do, however, have deep concerns about the author's conviction that the resulting Inner Critic must be bullied into submission. The techniques suggested are classic Cognitive Behavioral tools. I have been working with a talented Internal Family Systems ("IFS") trained therapist for almost five years now. From my own direct experience and given my understanding of that psychotherapeutic model, I think this is a hurtful and potentially dangerous way to treat an aspect of my own psyche.Inner Critic(s) are Protective parts of me, that voluntary arose in response to some overwhelming life "event". They arose to protect the vulnerable Wounded Inner Child, to maintain the functionality of the psychic system under dire circumstance. In my experience, when I have witnessed a Protector's story and they have relaxed their defensive posturing (since it is no longer necessary in present-time), I find out they are ALSO a "child", trying to tough it out in a harsh environment. They did the best they could at the time. Their strategy worked back then - I'm still alive. Unfortunately it is harming me now. They are stuck in trauma time and I can help them with that.Bottom line - I refuse to do to my own Inner Child(ren) what my parents did to me! There is a better way.
