Since Nick Marshall’s wife died, he’s been struggling to keep a lid on his PTSD and raise his stepdaughter Chloe and her younger half-sister, Abby. He’s always run a tight ship, but when he learns that Chloe’s flunking out, he becomes even more rigid and controlling: no extracurricular activities, just chores and schoolwork until she brings her grades up.
It’s only after she gets into a fight at school that he realizes there’s a deeper problem that he has no idea how to handle. Worse, his late wife’s sister is working with Chloe’s biological father to take custody away from him.
Out of desperation, he takes her teacher’s suggestion and brings home a dog from the Pretty Paws Shelter named Max. The girls bond with Max, but the dog’s playful enthusiasm drives Nick crazy — he craves calm, not chaos.

Are you suffering from chronic anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or uncontrollable emotions?
Although PTSD affects 7-8% of people in the world, it remains a relatively taboo subject. When people do talk about it, it’s usually restricted to war veterans and victims of child abuse.
The truth is, PTSD can manifest in response to any kind of trauma — but what does this mean for people who have been repeatedly subjected to traumatic events?
Recent research has shown that it is possible to recover from nightmarish experiences and live a life that feels happy and secure.
You don’t have to resign yourself to jumping at shadows and enduring intrusive, negative thoughts that wear you down mentally and physically.
By taking the steps to understand why you’re experiencing these things, you can begin to unlock the strength you have within you.
Instead of struggling to find a sense of worth, you can rewrite the script and engage with yourself compassionately. It can be so easy to judge yourself harshly, but you have to remember this:
When you are cruel to yourself, you are inadvertently cruel to the innocent child within you.
You may have spent years seeking compassion and validation from others and finding only frustration and despair.
However, that doesn’t mean you’re beyond help. Recovery from complex trauma is a long journey, but the rewards you’ll reap along the way will keep you moving forward.
In Recovery from Complex PTSD, you will discover:
What Complex PTSD is and how it differs from the more commonly known PTSD
How to rewrite the narrative of your life to overcome negative self-concept and regain control over your life
The Loop of Traumatization: how your brain creates a survival-based narrative that dictates your thoughts and behaviors
How understanding the causes of complex trauma can allow you to overcome the fear and pain that accompany distressing experiences
What it means when you consistently experience disturbed interpersonal relationships
The avoidance techniques you are unconsciously employing in your daily life that protect you but are also keeping you stagnant
How you can build an accurate sense of self that isn’t formed by the events from your past
And much more.
You know what helplessness feels like. The paralysis of panic, the loss of control. What it’s time for you to learn, is that these feelings aren’t forever.
You are capable of transforming the way you experience life and in turn, change the lives of the people who care about you most. $0.99 on Kindle.
Were you bullied, shamed, blamed, or rejected by a parent, sibling, or other relative growing up or as an adult? Have you been the target of a ‘smear’ campaign by immediate or extended family and been left feeling frustrated and confused? Have you tried to reach out for help and support and been told, “Just get over it, it’s your family, it can’t be that bad”?

Via psycho-education, self-assessment tools, and practical steps and strategies, the author describes the abusive aspects of family scapegoating and it’s relationship with complex trauma (C-PTSD), as well as ways to dis-identify and recover from the ‘family scapegoat’ narrative. ‘Links of Interest’ for further reading and education are included within each chapter and in the book’s ‘Afterword’ and ‘Resource’ section. $1.99 on Kindle.

As she tries to administer the estate, Laura is plagued by symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Suppressed memories start to rise to the surface.
Laura begins to remember, and to face, a childhood of psychological and physical abuse. No cuts. No bruises. No scratches. Her brother was sly, constraining her to spit in her face, lick her or perform tickle torture. He took pleasure in dominating her and playing on her fears – relishing his control over his younger sibling. His lies and manipulations terrified her. Witnessing his torture of animals, left no doubt in Laura’s mind that her tormentor would follow through on his threat that he would kill her if she told.
And, where were her parents? Rather than investigating Laura’s deteriorating situation, they believed their son’s continuous lies as he denied his abuse of Laura. When they did catch glimpses of their son’s cruelty, they put it down to sibling rivalry.
Travel with Laura as she uncovers her past, finds the help and courage to face that past and ultimately confronts her abuser and her family. $0.99 on Kindle.
