General Helping Each Other

Anybody interested in doing a book club? I just purchased one of the books that was suggested in another forum and would love to go through the book and discuss it with other supporters.

The book is: The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Relationship: How to Support Your Partner and Keep Your Relationship Healthy

I picked it up from Amazon and it should be here in a couple of days.

I also picked up a couple of books for the person I am supporting. Knowledge is power, right?

After six months of therapy and two different therapists I started researching on my own and I have gained more knowledge and understanding from books written by doctors who deal exclusively with PTSD. I am also doing the Seeking Safety workbook.

I'm sorry but if you want to run a book club you would need to do it by PC and not on the open forum thank you.

We already have a [DLMURL="https://www.ptsdforum.org/c/forums/book-club.177/"]Book Club forum[/DLMURL] and there is also a list of the reference materials you are referring to in the [DLMURL="https://www.ptsdforum.org/c/book-reviews"]Book Section[/DLMURL] where you can read and write reviews.

I would suggest you look at threads which may also be relevant. Here are some threads I found just by doing a search:

Nicolette- I was suggesting a book in by PC and suggesting a book that I found in the suggested books thread.

I was trying to gauge interest among supporters here as the current book club threads seemed to be sufferer driven and didn't involve this particular book.

So are you saying it is not okay to create a thread to identify interest? Seems counter-productive

Lisa, Anthony sets the guidelines for the basic running of the forum and the rules. He said no to a book club outside of what there is and I am just passing on that information. If you wish to address it further with Anthony please post at the [DLMURL="https://www.ptsdforum.org/c/forums/help-desk.28/"]Help Desk [/DLMURL]as I am simply enforcing what I have been told to.

Thank you
