Condemned To A Life Not Your Own

This is not just another book about post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It addresses a lesser-known, more sinister disorder that consumes one's entire life: COMPLEX post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD). 'Condemned to a Life Not Your Own' aspires to reach out to people with C-PTSD, to enable them to accept the debilitating nature of their disorder. It also aims to help their loved ones understand and come to terms with the condition. The severe complexities of C-PTSD, including addiction, distorted thinking and anger, make it difficult for everyone to manage their lives. Part One: My Trauma - In the first part, I give a brutally honest personal account of my life's struggles with this disorder.

Part Two: Go Beyond C-PTSD - The second part of the book takes sufferers and their loved ones on an inspiring journey using basic but meaningful healing methods that will see them transcend the symptoms and effects of C-PTSD.
