Countless mental health professionals and patients alike point to books as an important part of the healing process for PTSD. A book dedicated to this condition can help you better understand your own experience, relate to the experiences of others, and develop strategies to cope. However, reading isn't easy for everyone living with PTSD. In fact, the level of concentration, retention, and analysis required can make it quite difficult for some. In this case, listening to an audiobook or tackling shorter articles can help you accomplish the same goals without adding further stress to your healing journey.
