"Sheela Raja has produced an excellent resource for the many
individuals suffering from emotional consequences of trauma that do
not have access to, cannot afford, or prefer not to utilize
traditional mental health services. Her book is long overdue in
self-help literature. It is grounded in, and supported by, the best
available research related to trauma treatment approaches. Readers
can rest comfortably knowing that this is the relatively rare book
written for trauma survivors that includes techniques proven to be
invaluably helpful for countless others suffering from similar
difficulties. They can be assured that exercises recommended in
this book are bolstered by cutting-edge scientific research.
Overcoming Trauma and PTSD is truly an invaluable resource--one
that I will use often and recommend highly." --Matt J. Gray, PhD,
director of clinical training and professor of psychology at the
University of Wyoming
"Relying upon the growing body of evidence-based psychological
treatments for PTSD, psychologist Sheela Raja assembles a treasure
trove of useful exercises and skills for people committed to
recovery. This workbook is an invaluable tool to accompany
psychotherapy and will prove to be an outstanding complement to
existing self-help manuals. Utilizing an integrated framework for
promoting behavioral health, Raja's clinical skill and expertise
resounds throughout the text. This is an important reference for
patients and clinicians alike." --Terence M. Keane, PhD, director
of National Center for PTSD in Boston, professor and assistant dean
for research at Boston University School of Medicine
"Sheela Raja has written an accessible, clear, and compassionate
book that successfully integrates important evidence-based

while also providing important guidance about when (and how) to
seek professional help." --Holly K. Orcutt, PhD, professor of
