Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Hellers' ground-breaking new book, Crash Course, provides both a rational background to the concept of symptoms based on actual changes in brain function resulting from traumatic experience, and a potent means of beginning the healing process. It is a must read for victims of motor vehicle accidents, and for the practitioners who treat them."
—Robert C. Scaer, M.D. P.C.

This book came HIGHLY recommended to me after a bad accident that literally could have resulted in my demise.
Yes the accident left me with major trauma. The person who recommended it had had it recommended to them by
a psychologist and found it very effective. Mine came today and not even part way through the forward I already felt
thrilled that someone (the authors) understood what I was going through. Wonderful! Have already shared it with others
that need it.

This book was indispensable for me when I was dealing with residual anxiety from a car accident. It's been years since the accident. If someone had told me back then that I'd ever be able to drive with complete confidence again, I wouldn't have believed them. But that is, in fact, the case! Very helpful book. Definitely recommended.

Not just for auto accidents

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

This was recommended to me by a therapist for my anxiety, due to a -past car accident and my husbands PTSD. I read it, but was very pessimistic because my anxiety was severe. Before I knew it, I was getting better. Most of my anxiety was from my husband, so I didn't think it would work. I felt like I had PTSD, I didn't. It took practice and time, but I rarely have a panic attack anymore. I can drive as a passenger again. Thank you.

I got this for a family member after a really bad accident where the Drs said she wouldn't be able to walk again. (she was a super athletic girl) she is up & around and starting to run again. She liked it & said that it encouraged her.

Essentail reading for anyone you know who has had an auto accident (or any other kind)

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013

This is a readable guide to healing the hidden trauma of auto accidents and a validation for people who have been told to get over it but who have developed unexplained symptoms that seem to have cropped up in the months afterwards. Essential reading also for ER personnel.

Extremely useful

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2013

If you are in an accident, you need all the resources you can lay your hands on. The book can be read right away or over time to help heal. It's strange that we don't talk about the journey to recovery after a car crash, luckily this author does. R. Williams, coauthor of The Mindfulness Workbook for Addiction.

Great Help!

As the victim of a car accident, I found this book a "must have." It explains everything you experience after the accident and helps you work through the nightmares, anxiety and whatever else you are feeling. I highly recommend this book for all accident victims, and, for anyone who has suffered a trauma.

As you slowly navigate through the exercises; it's comforting to know that someone gets you and you're not alone. With an ABi; it's big words and simply language combined with the emphasis on pacing makes this book a true valued journey
