Scroll Up and Click The Buy Button To Get Started PLEASE NOTE that this is an unofficial and independent workbook for the book “Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving” by Pete Walker. Review: This is not an official therapeutic workbook. - I purchased this workbook thinking it was an official companion to Pete Walker’s CPTSD book. I focused on the word “WORKBOOK” only, so that’s fully on me. I have purchased other therapeutic workbooks so I assumed this was that. It is not and not even published by his publisher. It’s strictly a study guide which in all honesty I think will be useful in helping me truly and more permanently retain the information. I will review the chapter summary after reading each chapter with that purpose in mind. I was so excited to get started after tackling the first two chapters of Pete Walker’s CPTSD book and already wrote on the page to answer the summary of chapter 1 questions and didn’t think anything of it because that chapter is not intense but upon further inspection it appears to be just a guide not much of a therapeutic workbook. To be fair it doesn’t claim to be that but having the title “Workbook for CPTSD” and the title of a highly acclaimed therapy book it can easily be mistaken for one if not closely inspected. The accompanying book to the CPTSD From Surviving to Thriving book is an official Pete Walker book called “The Tao of Fully Feeling”, which he mentions in the introduction of the CPTSD book and I will also buy that. Five stars because it does state what it is, it’s useful and crisp without printing errors. May the greatness of your resilience be with you in your own healing journey, you can do this! Review: For the Lost Child in Us All - If you truly want to start your healing journey and get to a place where you can thrive then you need this companion workbook. The book itself is good to use if you prefer to use sticky notes like I have done. But I strongly advise that you purchase the workbook as well. It helps release thoughts that may have been stirred up and contains questions to help process the things you have learned. Definitely worth the buy.

Wow, just wow
I just finalized a training reference guide for my section at work and the layout of the material in this workbook is how I would've laid it out. It is organized, succinct, and to the point. No lolly dolly. Thank you.

Not at all like the book
I was mistakenly under the impression that this workbook was written (or at least advised) by Pete Walker himself… I’ve only just read the first chapter and it is so painfully obvious this was not written with a tenth of the compassion and tact that Pete Walker wrote his book with. The language is entirely different, with references to “being able to get over it” and “you’ll be able to relive your past and face your future with no fear, emotionally and mentally strong so you can be all you want to be with no exceptions and excuses”. Pete Walker is extremely clear in his book that CPTSD is something you learn to cope with, but many symptoms never fully go away. The biggest first part of his book is realizing that the trauma you went through IS why you are the way you are, so you can grieve the parts of you that were lost and start to move forward from there. It also adds a serenity prayer usually used in 12 step programs, and Pete Walker made every attempt to acknowledge possible religious trauma and avoid overtly religious stuff. Not to mention, the book is pretty unhelpful. It tells you “don’t assume or jump to negative details”… great, if I could just stop doing that, I wouldn’t need the book, would I? There’s no “real” help for HOW to help me do that. I’ve had this book since yesterday and opened it for maybe 10 minutes? This book is an insult to Pete Walker’s book and everything he was trying to do. If I could give this book zero stars, I would. I had a lot of hope for this book because I don’t have insurance and can’t afford the therapy I need, but this isn’t worth the $9 I spent on it.

Not a Workbook
This is not a workbook, more like an outline of each chapter with bullet points of some of the points. It does not include any exercises or journal prompts. If you are looking for something to help review previous chapters or help guide you, then this would be worthwhile. That’s why I gave it 3 stars because maybe it can help someone in that regard.
