Summary

Gentling is a therapeutic approach to people who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual abuse as children and have acquired Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) as a result. Gentling has redefined PTSD in child abuse survivors by identifying child-specific behavioral signs commonly seen, and offers a means to individualize treatment and measure therapeutic outcomes through understanding each suffering individual's unique symptom profile. The practical and easily understood Gentling approaches and techniques can be learned by clinicians, spouses, and adolescent and adult survivors of child abuse and all other caregivers in relationship to survivors. The approach can effect real and lasting healing. With the Gentling Workbook, you will: * Learn how to gently explore and process your abuse history, at your own pace and comfort level * Gain the practical, and effective treatment tools that really help to reduce PTSD discomforts * Learn how to manage the often intense reactivity seen in stress episodes * Use the Stress Profile to understand your own unique symptom profile and to guide your healing process
