Om du har upplevt en eller flera traumatiska händelser och utvecklat posttraumatiskt stressyndrom, ptsd, så kan du behöva hjälp med att återhämta dig från symtom som flashbacks, mardrömmar och lättskrämdhet. Behandlingsmetoden prolonged exposure, en form av kognitiv beteendeterapi, har visat sig vara en hjälpsam behandling för alla former av trauman. Den är vetenskapligt prövad under de senaste 30 åren och rekommenderas som förstahandsval vid ptsd. Författarna till denna arbetsbok har alla en djupgående kunskap om och klinisk erfarenhet av området.

Ta tillbaka ditt liv riktar sig direkt till dig som varit med om en eller flera traumatiska händelser och fått diagnosen ptsd. Boken ska användas i en behandling där du samarbetar med din terapeut. Arbetsboken vägleder dig i att under trygga förhållanden stegvis möta minnesbilder och bearbeta de upplevelser som är kopplade till traumat – och att successivt återta ditt liv.
