Keep Pain in the Past: Getting Over Trauma, Grief and the Worst that's Ever Happened to You by Christopher Cortman, Joseph Walden, narrated by Jack de Golia, an Audible release. At the beginning of the edition, the author speaks about how vital psychotherapy is. On the contrary that I have heard and read about psychiatric treatment, this book is stressed that medications do not function without talking therapy. The steps are discussed and look suitable for the adept of the subject. However, the considerable portions of this book describe different patients and their experiences. All their stories subsisted a compelling listening.

I’d give 3.75 stars if I could. I like most of this book. I actually decided not to listen to it at all after the first five minutes, something he said… but then I came back around to it mostly due to a lack of other options. It got better, not great. It was eye opening. And, it could have been half the length or even shorter, very repetitive. Somewhat insightful.

I found this very helpful, very insightful and very useful for understanding how to work through painful and challenging feelings.

[Josiane Stratis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some good tips but too much religion on it for ME.

Trauma, PTSD and health issues

Superficial. I would like to see someone deal with the intersection of PTSD and OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) and comment on the author's methods.

Simple and easy to read, a good starter to anyone who wants to keep their pain in the past.

[Skylar · Rating 4 out of 5]

He really helps you and stares a lot of tips. It's cool bc he shares real-life stories with permission, but he shares them, analyzes, and shares how they lived thru it.
