Surviving Ptsd

What makes me qualified to write this book? Simple. I have been in your shoes. I have experienced a great deal of trauma, many of the circumstances that you have previously dealt with, or those you are dealing with now. I have come through the dust. I have persevered. I am still standing here to tell my story and to tell how I healed from it.

For 25 years, Michele Rosenthal struggled with her own post-traumatic stress disorder following a horrific illness that almost killed her. Now an award-winning blogger and post-trauma coach, Rosenthal has developed a program that not only helped her make a full recovery but has been helping survivors around the world move beyond their PTSD as well. In this book, she shares the very best tools that have helped so many come through to the other side of trauma.

PTSD doesn’t whisper. It hijacks your sleep, burns through your relationships, and lives rent-free in your nervous system. The world wants you to stay quiet, stay small, stay “healed.” This book says f*** that. Scars Don’t Whisper isn’t about polished advice or therapy clichés. It’s for the ones still waking up in survival mode, still flinching at kindness, still battling the guilt of not being “over it.”

The truth of the matter is this: a person can experience complex PTSD (CTPSD) from any kind of event or events which make them feel helpless or hopeless. These events can be rape, childhood abuse or neglect, emotional trauma, extreme weather, and more...I understand the symptoms you are suffering all too well. I suffered from the symptoms until I spent a significant amount of time on my own personal growth and wellness. I can help you, too - but only if you’re willing to get real with yourself.
