Note to Readers:

This is an Unofficial Workbook for "Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving" by Pete Walker designed to enrich your reading experience.

Psychotherapist and general practitioner Pete Walker followed up The Tao of Fully Feeling with his new book Complex PTSD as a further exploration into how we respond to childhood trauma and what we can do to limit its effects as we develop.

Complex PTSD draws on Walker's own traumatic upbringing as well as his experiences as a counselor for over 30 years.
