			<description><![CDATA[I am going to download the book from the PTSD forum listed below.  However, I have just bought 'Overcoming Traumatic Stress' by Claudia Herbert and Ann Wetmore which looks very informative and readable.  I also bought The PTSD Workbook by Mary Beth Williams and Soili Poijula.  I'm not so sure that it looks so favourable, as the format seems somewhat irritating.  However, nothing ventured?  If you have read any particularly helpful books it would be nice to know.

			<description>Although it doesn't seem relevant now with the huge fall I've had, but during the year I was in counselling I did a creative writing course with the OU.  It was a huge struggle but I did it and I achieved something.  Some of the course work covered autobiography, and even if the assignment was to write fiction I still wrote autobiography.  Doing that course, I learnt how to take seemingly unrelated pieces of my life and weave them together in a strange way, and I learnt how to use simple everyday  ...</description>

			<title>***NEW BOOK*** Coping with PTSD</title>

			<description>We have produced a book which can be downloaded from our main site at www.ptsduk.co.uk.



The book is written by people who have learned to cope with day-to-day problems associated with PTSD, and includes jargon-free and easy to understand ways of coping and exercises for overcoming some of the debilitating symptoms of the condition based in their experience and tried and tested approaches.



This is a book which can really help you in a very practical way.

			<description>my psychologist recommended I read Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine. Its an easy read (which is a bonus at a time when your concentration is vertually nil!) &amp; is really helpful in understanding both the physical &amp; psychological symptoms of PTSD. It is quite difficult to get hold of though,  some libraries have it but the only place i could order it from was Amazon. 



when I was having counselling I read Overcoming Truamatic Stress by Claudia Herbert &amp; Ann Wedmore. Its a self-help  ...</description>
