I am often asked for recommended reading on working with trauma and high anxiety states. I find the following books very helpful in understanding some of the causes of stress and anxiety, their contributions to trauma and complex PTSDisorder/Injury, and how to work with people to help bring life-enhancing changes. I hope you may find some of them helpful, too:-
