These injuries may be difficult for you to talk about, but they can be far more traumatic than a single event.

**Comments
When I read this book, I felt like I was at work, and the vivid cases in the book made me feel as if I saw the patients who came to me for help. Whenever I encounter a case of complex post-traumatic stress syndrome in the outpatient clinic, I think of "parents are really a 'three no' position with no training, no continuing education, and no supervision". I highly recommend that parents who are concerned about their children's physical and mental health choose this easy-to-understand professional book when seeking parenting guidance, so that their children do not grow up to forgive you. ——Ma Hong, Chief Physician and Professor, Peking University Sixth Hospital.
Each of us has gaps, and this book can be a good guide to the various self-help methods presented to help the general public. Needless to say, it is also a good reference book for practitioners. ——Tong Jun, Chief Physician, Professor, Ph.D. Supervisor of the Mental Health Center Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and the first chairman of the China Group of the International Psychoanalytic Association (IPA).
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) is a cutting-edge research topic in the field of psychology. This book introduces this concept to the public eye for the first time, giving us a new understanding of the painful experiences that happen to us. The author introduces CPTSD from the perspective of childhood trauma in plain language. And for its different symptoms, specific and practical action suggestions are given. I hope this self-help book can help you slowly get out of the trauma in need. — Suspend the lab.
I am extremely happy to see the Chinese translation of this classic masterpiece. I believe this book can help countless people who have experienced and are experiencing emotional trauma. I recommend this book without reservation, and hope that it can teach more people how to heal their inner pain and get out of the haze of emotional trauma as soon as possible. —Koala Xiaowu, a senior psychological counselor with 20,000 hours of clinical practice, and author of million-dollar bestsellers such as "Actually You're Fine".
This book comprehensively introduces the healing process and methods of complex psychological trauma, objectively shows the value and significance of a variety of different healing methods, as well as their respective necessity and limitations, and also provides specific and feasible trauma intervention and self-help methods from multiple perspectives. —Qingliu, Registered Psychologist, Clinical Supervisor, Zhihu Big V
