Hey y'all,
This might be a bit left-field, but I am trying to look for books that help me deal with bouts of depression and CPTSD due to autism. I've been very emotionally numb and shut in for as long as I can remember and have been going to therapy for about a year and a half now and the emotional fallout from finally trying to be more open is rather severe.
Are there books that deal with this or just give clear guidelines on how to deal with this further? I've been reading Healing The Shame That Binds You by John Bradshaw and Complex PTSD by Pete Walker and think they are both a bit too focused on the affirming part, giving the reader sympathy for recognizing their state. I'd rather have clear instructions on how to deal with it though.
Appreciate any sort of insight.
