Triumph Over Trauma

With the start of a brand new year, I want to wish the readers of this blog a very 
Happy 2024 with lots of reading moments!

In Belgium, the year starts with ideal reading weather: raining, grey and cold.
So, I can't do lots of things in the garden neither visiting royal destinations.

Instead I'm in the sofa, reading and reviewing some interesting books such as
Triumph Over Trauma.

The book is all about use of psychedelics for treating psychological traumas.
First the author Randall S. Hansen gave an overview about the history of these
treatements and then there were amazing personal stories.

Although I don't know much about this subject, I liked the book as well as the
stories and I can recommend Triumph Over Trauma to people who are interested
in the subject. 

Withouth any doubt, I give a 5 star rating!

Booktasters

As always, I want to thank Booktasters as well as the author Randall S. Hansen

Some Musings

So this was the first post of 2024, I hope to read and review more this year than
last year. 

Wish you a very happy Tuesday and enjoy reading!

Trauma Surviror's Guide to Coping With Panic Attacks

Book review : Trauma Surviror's Guide to Coping With Panic Attacks

Author: Nicole Dake

An interesting book!

Summary

Panic attacks that result from PTSD and cPTSD can be debilitating. Research
unfortunately falls short, telling those suffering from panic attacks to just
"wait for them to be over." Over the years I have learned to cope, first
preparing for panic attacks, and then calming down during a panic attack.
I am sharing these coping skills with others who have PTSD, so they can
go from being survivors to warriors too.

My review

It took a while to read the book completely although it wasn't a big one,
however the topic really interested me much. 

The author has used her own experiences which I found very interesting. 
It is a clear book, fluently written and understandable.

I recommend this book to all who want to know more about how to deal
with panic attacks. 

Without any doubts I give a 5 star rating for this interesting book!
