As a fellow survivor of a traumatic event, I can say that for the most part, I could relate to the author’s experiences as after the car crash I was alienated and left to be…

The book gave me some insights into the nature of PTSD and how many people have underestimated the true depths of its destructive effects on a person’s life, especially when the treatment of such cases…

The author doesn’t just tell us about her experience, she tracks back PTSD history, showing some theories and studies from James T. Webb, Irvin David Yalom, and Kazimierz Dąbrowski, and more well-known psychiatrists, psychologists, and philosophers to support her statements. It’s an educational read that helps you understand the struggle people with PTSD go through, what she went through. It also shines the light on secrets and cons few knew about, like the struggles anyone with PTSD goes through trying to keep their jobs, relationships, and interests.
4/4 Stars
This book is a great tool of enlightenment, guidance, counseling, and encouragement to both the carers and the PTSD patients. It will educate and improve these patients’ fortitude and resilience to transcend their mental fears and disorders and lead them towards a dramatic recuperation and healing process. I will also recommend the book as a challenger to the psychiatrists and mental disorder experts who may be inadvertently doing more harm than good through their treatment methods to these patients.

The Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Fallacy is a self help book tailored to help the reader to know the fallacies that the world best doctors, (and to emphasize) doctors with Ph.Ds, masters and all sort of qualifications in medicine expose to people experiencing the traumatic stress disorder. The author of the book H. Nattanya Anderson gives solution to how one can heal himself or herself without the use of pharmaceutical drugs.

Albeit being a long read, this novel is not monotonous in any sense, getting more intriguing the deeper you dive. I found myself siding with the writer’s perspective in almost every instance, snorting and chuckling to myself whenever my sense of arrogance kicks in after having guessed the outcome of an event successfully.

I loved the ease of this book. There were no dull clinical terms. The author’s immediate experience gives this book a scramble of development. I saw that the maker’s upheld techniques for treatment might be viewed as unconventional. However, then we overall hold an alternative to our points of view. Regardless, tapping from my past data on PTSD, I found a considerable amount of her decisions satisfying.

The most beautiful aspect of this book is the journey you are taken on by Andersen’s profound research, knowledge, and brilliant writing. From numerous papers, theories, hypotheses, treatment modalities, and so-called ”recent” developments in psychology to the very origin of psychology, neurology, metaphysics, philosophy, theology, and literary epics, she takes you through various centuries of human history and ancient civilizations across the globe to awaken the thinker(lying dormant) inside the reader.
4/4 Stars
The author has basically created a detailed map to guide the PTSD affected through the spider web created by mental health professionals, thereby helping themselves to heal safely. I was thrilled, however, to find out that this book is not only helpful to those experiencing PTSD. It is packed with useful information that anyone can use in their day to day lives.
3/4 Stars
The author, at the very start of the book, calls out the ineffective and redundant methods used by psychologists to treat PTSD. She brings focus to the unfair treatment that the affected are given by those people who are supposed to help them recover. The author describes what she thinks is the cause of PTSD, and what realisation finally gives the person the motivation to start their lives anew. This book provides the step by step method of laying the foundation of life again.
