I found a book recently that some of you here might enjoy.  It's Invisible Heroes:  survivors of trauma and how they heal by Belleruth Naparstek. 

The first half talks about ptsd itself and how it affects people.  The second half is exercises in guided imagery.  It's very similar to meditation and techniques you might learn for stress reduction.  Yet, this is so much richer.  I think I will be digging up my recorder and taping some of the exercises.  It's sort of hard to read the guided imagery and practice it at the same time.  There are exercises for dealing with grief, trauma, sleeplessness, and much more.  Just thought I'd share.
