WORKBOOKS
Do the work on the page
These workbooks give you structured exercises to process trauma, build skills, and track your progress — on your own timeline. This list is simply where I'd suggest starting. If you've found something that works for you and isn't here, I'd love to hear about it. You can reach me at tj@stillherecanada.ca

The Complex PTSD Workbook — Arielle Schwartz PhD
A mind-body approach to regaining emotional control. Combines somatic awareness, CBT, and mindfulness.
The Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxiety — John P. Forsyth & Georg H. Eifert

The Self-Compassion Skills Workbook — Tim Desmond
Evidence-based self-compassion practices especially powerful for survivors who learned early that they didn't deserve kindness.
