Homesteading is also a memoir of my journey of recovering from C-PTSD. Written in a more playful, easier to read style than my other books, it is much less dense and relatively free of psychological jargon. Several previewers have described it as rich, poignant, funny and full of self-disclosive anecdotes that are sure to help other survivors in their recovery."Homesteading" has two parts. In Part I, I escape from my dysfunctional family and backpack around the world seeking happiness while I unconsciously flee my suffering. In Part II, I wander into the jungles of psychological theory and technique. I shift my focus from global adventurer to inner world explorer.The many hits and misses of my recovery efforts are detailed in this book. Eventually, I discover what works, and gradually move from struggling to survive to discovering how to thrive.Very gradually I find meaning, belonging and fulfillment. My fear shrinks, my toxic shame melts away, and peace of mind becomes my touchstone. My psyche heals as my self-kindness, self-care, and self-protection continuously grow.Eventually, I break the pattern of being attracted to painful relationships that mirror my experiences with my parents. This in turn frees me to find a number of truly intimate and comforting relationships. Review: I found a storage house of tears that had been abandoned. - Thank you Pete Walker! I've recently started my long journey to recover from CPTSD. I have been looking for real true answers for a very long time. As a mature women I realize it's never to late. I'm not as scared to deal with all the pain and speechless horror as I used to be because of your books. Even though I know that I wasn't alone in the world with the traumas that I secretly hid, there was no one out there speaking about the tabo subjects. I have found a good therapist , when I called about my marriage problems., she says to me that she specializes in trauma patients, I thought, that's nice, as I smirked to myself, and wondered why she would tell me this. My goal in therapy was to learn to cry again, as numbness had become quite comfortable and angry was stepping up to bat. As she showed me your books and I begain to read your warm and transparent words, I begain to cry again, and laugh with you and hope again. I can't wait for my life to thrive as it was meant to be Thank you, thank you, thank you! Mistakes are my teachers. Every misstep is a chance to practice self-compassion. Pg. 228 Ps. Your poetry is beautiful. Your adventures are encouraging. It's a true honor to know the deepest of Pete Walker through your words. Your journey is a gift to all of us that feel as if we were left stranded on the dark and lonely side of the roads of life. Thank you again, with my whole heart! Review: A very honest autobiography of a therapist - I really appreciate reading this as I am thinking of becoming a therapist myself but I'm not sure if I am good enough to do it. Reading this was really insightful as to how a really skilled therapist like Pete Walker can still struggle at times and have their own issues while still doing their best to provide effective therapy and support to others. I also really appreciate his vulnerability as to how his relationships have progressed over time, it's not easy to admit how long it takes to let go of compulsively repeating past abuse in current relationships. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #187,530 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #529 in Post-Traumatic Stress #19,090 in Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 235 Reviews | ## Images ![HOMESTEADING in the CALM EYE of the STORM: A Therapist Navigates His Complex PTSD - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pgvZ8BfdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I found a storage house of tears that had been abandoned. *by B***N on November 22, 2018* Thank you Pete Walker!

His ability to personalize the experiences of Complex PTSD are truly unique in relating to others whose trauma leaves them feeling isolated and alone in a world seldom understood by the world around us. His ability to offer hope and healing for people with developmental suffering provides a roadmap to recovery that has been foundational in my own personal journey. It is a must-read for those of us whose lives have been impacted by the scars we bear from childhood trauma. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/57221536-homesteading-in-the-calm-eye-of-the-storm-a-therapist](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/57221536-homesteading-in-the-calm-eye-of-the-storm-a-therapist) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
