Recommend Books Or/and Workbook

[PureDogs]

Hello,

I am looking for book that I would want to get relating with overcoming PTSD and CBT skills.

I tried to find different books at barnes and nobles but I can't seem to find right one.

I am afraid to buy and realizing that it is not what I am looking for.

What am I looking for?

- Effective treatment on overcoming PTSD
- CBT and DBT Skills
- Yes, I would like to include workbook as well

Any of you can recommend me some list?

Hopefully these books are at the reasonable price as well.

Thanks

I have the PTSD Sourcebook by Schiraldi. It's a good survey of the various techniques and has a good bibliography.

@WillyKat

It's good, but I can't say I've compared it to others. Here's the ISBN number which should help you find it:

978-0-07-161494-8

Glenn R. Schiraldi

McGraw Hill

"The Mindfulness and Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety" is a great workbook I have used.

It uses a lot of CBT concepts and mindfulness from DBT. I have never done it with a therapist, but just the workbook, and I found it really super easy to understand and a helpful complement to the other work I was doing.

This isn't a workbook, but it's a great resource for learning and practicing DBT skills: http://www.dbtselfhelp.com/

I liked Coping With Trauma-Related Dissociation by Boon, Steele and Van Der Hart.

In addition to others' recommendations...

These are not workbooks...

Publications from The Institute of Heartmath (they also have a software program for anxiety management)
Pete Walker's Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving (not on a particular type of therapy, but it was REALLY helpful)

Also, in another thread someone recommended work by Karla McLaren. There's a video and some excerpts on this thread https://www.myptsd.com/threads/is-anyone-out-there-an-empath.40370/page-3#post-658394 in posts 48 and 51. They are not about PTSD per se, but emotional understanding and management.
