HEALING THE TRAUMATIZED SELF

Cultivation of emotional awareness is difficult, even for those of us not afflicted by serious mental illness. This book discusses the neurobiology behind emotional states and exercises for developing self awareness. Specific intervention and assessment methods are included for clinicians who work with various issues such as mood (both unipolar and bipolar), anxiety (particularly PTSD), and dissociative disorders.
