Pete WalkerTestimonials about Pete Walker’s first book, The Tao of Fully Feeling, and his website: www.pete-walker.com
I am writing from Survivors of Abuse Recovering (S.O.A.R.) Society, located in Canada. We would like to include “13 Steps for Managing Flashbacks” in our resource manual.
I found myself. I found myself in your words. It’s as if you had unzipped me, stepped inside my traumatized inner self, meandered around a bit, come back outside, and wrote about what you discovered inside of me. For the first time in my life.......and I’m in my fifties now........I don’t feel defective......or crazy.......or “weird”.......or even unlovable. — D.M.
I sat in the San Francisco Airport reading your book (in the washroom, shaking and weeping) to get the courage to go the next leg of the trip. It helped me so much just to know that you live in that area-strange when I haven’t even met you! Your website and book are invaluable to me. — A. R.
I want to thank you so much for all the help you have given me (and all the people I’ve passed your website link onto since finding out about it). Your understanding of emotional flashbacks has made an enormous difference in my life. I’ve gone from being smashed about by huge waves to having a surfboard on which I can ride at least some of them, and even if I fall off into it, I know it won’t last forever. — J, New Zealand
Thank you for all of your educational information with regards to PTSD and abandonment. I have finally found something that I have tried to explain to therapists for years. Every single piece of information is exactly what I experience from my PTSD and attachment depression. — A
I thank you on a personal and professional level. Your articles on healing from CPTSD have excited me and validated me both. I will be a better therapist now, and heal further in my own life. — D
Your article will be one of my regular handouts now to my clients. Needless to say I feel this information and the way you articulate it is a life saver! — L.P
How impactful all you have written has been for me and how much healing I have found in the pages of your website. Like the authors you note in your article on bibliotherapy - I was convinced you would have empathy for me had I the occasion to meet you - and here, in this moment, that belief is powerfully actualized. — J.S.
