As a teenager, Michele Rosenthal was diagnosed with an illness so rare none of her doctors had actually seen a case. She recovered, but found as an adult that she was suffering from a storehouse of nightmarish memories from her nearfatal illness. For years she experienced PTSD, until she developed tools that worked to heal her symptoms.In Heal Your PTSD, Rosenthal applies the tools and ideas she developed from reclaiming her own life after trauma. As she says, Were all individual in our traumas, but completely universal in our posttrauma experience. Every trauma survivor needs education, compassion, creativity, ideas, hope, and belief, to name a few. She tackles post trauma identity, the science of the brain and body (as it relates to trauma), common problems and how to resolve them, how to gain (and maintain) momentum, and so much more. She provides readers not only with healing thoughts on each topic, but actionable steps for moving forward with their lives.
