I am couraged to do this project by the words written by Pete Walker. He says in his book that the hurt is not caused by ourselves but we need to do for recovery.

Aim

I'm interested in the reactions I have had when I have to face the family issues. The emotions, thoughts and reactions are uncontrolled. It is more likely to be an unconscious reaction. I want to visualize the reactions and feelings.

Further Added

When I am doing my researches, I'm allergic with some topical medicines. I find the skin allergies are having the similarities with the CPTSD.

This book provides knowledge about CPTSD and the self-recovery guidance. Pete Walker makes the complex psychological system easy to understand. The book is facing a wild range of people from different regions that are facing the same problem, CPTSD. What I am attracted is that, the translator's preface written by Lillian Chen, U.S Psychotherapist, mentions that the oral direction is not that easy to be accepted by the patients. A written guid book might be more acceptable, and easier to carry in life.

CPTSD is a very new category in Psychology, and this book provides well-organized and a wide-range of supportive examples. The writer also uses historical evidence to support his study. Although this book provides a very systemic knowledge to the readers, it is a book based on the professional and personal experience from the writer and still need to be add-on, re-organized in the future.

After reading this book, I think I'm really interested in the braveness that the patients show. In my personal perspective, CPTSD is like the elephant in the room. People in the room is like locked in the cage and looking for an exit. Realizing there is an elephant in the room and finding a way to free myself and the elephant are important. Some people can sense there is something big in the room and some people avoid noticing the existence.
