Rating: - Very good book
Very good book, well worth it. You may also want to try, Sarah Shikitao-Brown's book for a very direct approach, which is excellent too. Tao Cycle Therapy: Natural Happiness via Self Directed Cure for Chronic Anxiety & Depression [Updated 2008 3nd Edition]

Rating: - Excellent book on PTSD
This is an excellent overview of PTSD, including the things one needs to know about self-care and managing the disorder. It is an organic disturbance in the mind and the nervous system, and there are ways to live with it.

Rating: - Unbelievably good
Hey there,
This book is unbelievably good. It has essential covering on a wide range of topics. Like shame/guilt, pain, sexual healt aspects. I haven't found any week spots in it.
It has concrete action suggestions, is written clearly and with a relaxed tone that can only come from someone who is educated, has great experience and has got it together completely. It is down to earth and couldn't be better for a non-expert self-healer and one doesn't have to be a genious to use it.
