Difficult and traumatic life experiences affect our lives in unexpected ways and can even change the way we sleep. In fact, up to 75 percent of all people who have experienced abuse, violence, or traumatic incidents have sleeping problems after these events, even after all other trauma-related symptoms have diminished. If you've experienced these problems for yourself, The Post-Traumatic Insomnia Workbook is for you. This workbook is based in cognitive behavioral therapy, a powerful approach that has been proven to be more effective over the long run than sleeping pills. Included are easy tips and techniques you can start doing right away to help you sleep better. You'll learn a variety of relaxation and sleep-scheduling skills that will help you put an end to broken sleep, the need to stay on high alert throughout the night, and sleep-sabotaging habits you may have developed. Why spend another night lying awake? Find the root cause of your restless nights and rediscover peacefu
Editorial : "This workbook is a user-friendly self-help guide to improving sleep for trauma survivors who have developed sleep problems.

Foy, PhD, professor of psychology at Pepperdine University in Santa Clara, CA

Not a complete waste of time, but not something I'll remember past next week. If you like technology and history you've already read most of this book elsewhere. Also, it's over 20 years old. if you would like to understand the physiology behind dyslexia then you would find this book worth chewing your way through. Then there is Brother Leod He is a sick and twisted man whose deviant sexual desires are as black as his nature. And, even if it omits references from the ten-plus years since its writing, it gives today's reader a solid preparation for creating tools on the cutting edge of system synthesis.
The remaining chapters, although thorough and competent, are not in the center of my
