What to read after Coping with Trauma-related Dissociation?

"This is the first book to offer structured skills training for those suffering from dissociative disorders as a result of trauma. Boone, Steele, and van der Hart draw upon a practical integration of current and important theories and therapies for trauma and dissociation. They offer a helpful combination of short educational pieces, homework sheets, and exercises that promote essential emotional and life skills in individuals who suffer from dissociation, and which can be used in either group or individual treatment. Beginning with an overview of dissociation and its symptoms, the authors delineate specific skills for managing it by learning to reflect ; understanding and regulating emotions ; challenging dysfunctional thoughts ; coping with anger, fear, shame, and guilt ; managing triggers ; learning to cope with the desire to self-harm ; and taking small steps to improve relationships with others. They offer everyday exercises to help adopt healthier sleeping, eating, and exercise routines, and learn how to maximize free time to relax, reflect, and recharge. A Guide for Trainers at the end of the book provides an outline for introductory and leave-taking group sessions. Homework sheets throughout break down the coping strategies into small, achievable goals. With this book on hand, readers have a compassionate, readable roadmap to understanding dissociation and traumatic memories and developing lifelong skills for coping with their effects. It will also serve as a handy guide for therapists who work with clients who are dealing with these issues."--taken from back cover.
