Have you found any books that have helped during your healing?
I did therapy for many years after my brother assaulted me 8 years ago. I haven’t done therapy now for a few years despite having a relapse due to being diagnosed with chronic health problems. I have chronic fatigue syndrome/ME. It’s been too exhausting to go back to therapy because of my condition. I also have had therapy on an off since I was 19 because of my family during my childhood so it’s not really something I want to go back to at this current time. I keep thinking do I focus on healing the chronic fatigue syndrome or do I focus on healing the PTSD. I have decided I need to work on my mental health because it affects my physical health greatly. Stress on the body only fuels the CFS/ME and is a known trigger for the condtion.
This year I’ve had a major relapse, due to the stress of the pandemic and having 3 teenagers at home rebelling against the restrictions we’ve had to put in place to keep myself and my husband safe who has asthma. It’s been really stressful and difficult and because of that I’ve had a big relapse with my physical health and a relapse with my mental health. I am now suffering from anxiety and panic attacks like I used to.
I have suffered anxiety for years at r the assault but it was much better. When I start reading books on anxiety they always say that if you have trauma then you need extra help and possibly the book won’t help because the anxiety has a different cause. So I’m asking here does anybody recommend any books for trauma that will help the anxiety and panic attacks trauma brings?
Thank you ?
