Trauma Zone

By R. Dandridge Collins and R. Dandridge Collins PhD

Book Overview

In the eerie, classic television show The Twilight Zone , characters caught in the zone wanted nothing more than to return to normal life. Similarly, survivors of severe trauma fall into the trauma zone--place they want to escape from, but can't. Some cannot move forward, feeling stuck and victimized by their past. Some cannot see the present, living in denial of what has happened. And others cannot learn from the past, repeating the same mistakes over and over. All of them find they can't cope with the overwhelming emotions that accompany trauma. Collins, a licensed psychologist with over 25 years experience in the healthcare field, believes there is a way out of the trauma zone and back to emotional health, a path he outlines in this practical, encouraging book.

Help for "Getting Out of the Pit"

Excellent! This book is easy to read yet insightful and profound. I recommended it to a friend experiencing career change trauma and she has not stopped talking about it and how it helped her. She recommends that the author coordinate support groups around the questions at the end of each chapter. Although as a Christian I have a special appreciation for the scriptural references and prayers at the end of each chapter the book is useful, helpful and accessible for everyone.

Excellent Book

This is the most excellent and helpful book I have read dealing with many issues relating to dealing with anxiety and fear following many circumstances in a persons life. The author makes very clear simple and sensible applications in helping people deal with feelings that can be very traumatic and disabling to people. I highly recommend this excellent book!

The Trauma Zone

The Trauma Zone is filled with practical concepts and powerful truths (stuff you can actually use to move on). For example, Dr. Collins compassionately lets us know that "trauma can't tell time" in chapter 11. I could go on and on but I don't want to spoil it for anyone -- extremely helpful and greatly needed.
