Can’t Get Over It: A Handbook for Trauma Survivors By Aphrodite Matsakis Have you ever been beaten, robbed, raped, or forced
to have sex or do other things against
your will? Were you ever forced to stand by while someone else injured
or killed someone you loved? Has someone you loved committed suicide or been
murdered, raped or assaulted? Do you work in an occupation, such as police work,
rescue work, emergency room work, cancer or burn treatment, or
firefighting, where you deal with death and dying on a daily basis? Were you ever in a natural catastrophe, such as an
earthquake, fire, flood, or hurricane, If you can answer “yes” to any of the above
questions, you are a trauma survivor. If so, this book can help you
through the healing process.
I Can’t Get Over It is one
of the first books to guide readers through the healing process of
recovering from a trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, one step at
a time. It helps survivors cope with memories and emotions; identify
triggers that reactivate traumatic stress; relieve secondary wounding
(the rejection and misunderstanding of others) and gain a sense of
empowerment and hope.
