It will help you cope with memories and emotions, explain secondary wounding, and identify the triggers that reactivate traumatic stress.
"For the trauma survivor and the field professional, Dr. Matsakis has written on the most informative and sensitive books on surviving violent trauma. I Can't Get Over It covers most useful techniques and self-help suggestions for safe recovery, empowerment, and growth following trauma."
--Yigal Ben-Haim, Ph.D., Trauma Specialist with the Veterans Assistance Center and Alta Bates Burn Center in Berkeley, California
"The book provides a wealth of information about specific traumas and suggests techniques for dealing with them as well. While many trauma survivors believe they 'can't get over it, ' use of this book, combined with appropriate therapy, will certainly assist them on their healing journeys."
