"This scientifically sound and comprehensive Mind-Body Workbook for PTSD has broken new ground by offering highly effective strategies for mental health treatment. In my 20 years of clinical experience working with complex PTSD and other mental disorders, I have found Mind-Body Bridging, the method taught is this self-help book, to be the most tolerated and effective treatment approach among other evidence based models including CPT; CBT; DBT; PE; and EMDR. Outcome measures have been impressive compared to the above evidence based treatments used in my practice. This workbook is compelling and instructive it its ability to help clients develop sufficient resources for "sustainable" self-healing and empowerment. I have been using Mind-Body Bridging for the past three years in the context of individual and group treatment. I have treated over 100 clients using MBB and have had no client terminate treatment."

"... the Mind-Body Bridging technique featured in the Mind-Body Workbook for PTSD saved my life. I just want to say that without the tools of Mind-Body Bridging, I would be dead. I have learned how to cope with anything that is put in front of me. We all have different struggles in life and none are any less than the other. I swear by the techniques of Bridging. It brought me to my senses. Not only has it saved my life but made it better than it was before I was deployed. I would recommend the Mind-Body Workbook for PTSD for anyone no matter what your life is like today. It only makes it better."
