About Our Books

Although there is a strong psychological component of PTSD. . . this is actually a mind-body condition and not simply a psychological one. Yoga provides an ideal mix of mind-body techniques and growing research is supporting its efficacy for PTSD. This book provides a comprehensive set of practice recommendations, including both CBT and yoga, presented in a cohesive text that has high potential for alleviating PTSD and its symptoms by addressing its underlying mind-body pathophysiology.

Reclaiming Life after Trauma is an important and valuable resource for anyone who has experienced trauma as well as for their loved ones and providers. The comprehensive and flexible approach ensures that all aspects of the individual are addressed – mind, body and soul. I will be recommending this book to my patients.

Reclaiming Life after Trauma is a phenomenal work. It explains PTSD in a straightforward, understandable yet thorough way. More importantly, Mintie and Staples offer practical strategies for overcoming trauma symptoms. The book validates the pervasive consequences of trauma on the mind and the body, contains stories of patients we can relate to, and conveys hope that we can reverse many of trauma’s effects. The inclusion of yoga therapy addresses the crucial physical aspects of this complex disorder.
