Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that develops in response to traumatic experiences, resulting in symptoms including such as flashbacks, hypervigilance, and a current sense of threat. The Psychology Tools For Overcoming PTSD Audio Collection offers a structured series of exercises designed to help clients manage these symptoms effectively.

The Peaceful Place exercise is designed to guide clients through a positive imagery exercise aimed at activating the parasympathetic nervous system. By visualizing tranquil scenes, clients can counteract the fight-or-flight response often triggered by trauma memories. This technique is beneficial for managing symptoms like flashbacks and anxiety, helping clients tap into a state of calm and peace.
