Connect with my struggles and heal deeper.

A lot of what I learned about CPTSD from Roland, I had never heard before. He helped me connect with my struggles and heal deeper than I had ever experienced, with a very gentle but effective approach. My mind and nerves are drastically calmer and I am feeling more grounded, less disassociated, and more hopeful about my future. I now have useful tools to help me as I continue on my journey and try to move forward with my life. He was easy to work with and I felt that he understood my situation more than anyone I have worked with so far. Thank you Roland!

An enormous amount of relief.

Just wanted to say thank you. I have an enormous amount of relief reading your blogs. You are the first person I have ever felt actually knows what my reality is like. Doesn't fix it but eternally grateful to feel known. May God bless you and keep you.

Your writing is concise and easily understood.

I want to tell you that I greatly appreciate your work. Your writing is concise and easily understood, and your insights very helpful. I find your work to be among some of the finest!

Packed with information.

So happy I purchased all the ebooks! Packed with information that I understood with ease and very much needed to know.

Deeply touched and impressed.

I came across your website the other day and I am deeply touched and impressed with your writing and videos. It's so clear, concise, to the point, elegant... and I am not accustomed to seeing this level of grace.

Absolutely loves these books

I bought these trauma essential series to help me understand more about the immense trauma my wife has been through as a child and as an adult. She absolutely loves these books. So, they are helping her and that makes my heart glow it's brightest. Thank you so much Roland!

While looking for help dealing with my angry emotional responses to criticism, I read Roland's ebooks and recognized that a lot of my reactions and experiences were similar to others with PTSD. I felt quite a lot of relief simply in seeing that I was not alone in that and to see constant childhood criticism described as a trauma rather than a personal weakness which is how I felt about it. Typically I'm quite introverted and like to work and figure things out by myself. However, I am really glad that I met Roland for a block of sessions because sometimes you really do need somebody to help you move through an issue that you are not willing to do by yourself or that your mind just avoids. I found a great benefit in having someone non-judgmental who is so experienced to guide me through the session, to focus on what needed to be focused on and to help find the balance necessary to feel and examine an emotion without sinking into it. He was also great in helping me to examine the feelings and emotions that surrounded those issues and I often felt that he was like a mind reader when something came to mind and he asked me about it without me even saying anything. Following my block of sessions with Roland, I feel that I have a much healthier and happier set of emotional responses and I feel that my different emotions and my thinking are much better integrated now. As quite a cynical person it was a revelation to see the extent to which emotional responses were held and could be felt in the body and the extent to which they related to other emotions and responses as well as to past events. I'm delighted with how beneficial the block of sessions have been and I'm also intend to continue putting Roland's advice into practice and look forward to seeing how that will continue to improve my life. I would recommend him to anyone looking for help dealing with trauma or other issues from their past, or indeed to anyone looking for help improving their life. Thanks a million Roland!

Highly recommend it.

At 57, with the trauma taking place at 12, I have fought my PTSD demons for many years and have often been met with non-understanding, judgmental attitudes, little sympathy and therefore suffering severely in the past. The material these books cover is to the point, full of helpful hints and suggestions, and easy to read and understand. In my opinion, they can be instrumental in getting away from the suffering trauma brings into our lives. Highly recommend it to people suffering from PTSD.

Practical, simple, and effective.

Roland has helped me look at trauma issues from a very practical, simple, and most importantly, effective viewpoint. I've seen a lot of progress on my journey by understanding trauma binding factors, as he describes them.

Made some very good improvements.

I have dealt with complex trauma for many years. Through cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR I had made some very good improvements, but there had been lingering effects that I just hadn't been able to address. I have been using these meditations pretty consistently for about a month now, listening to one each morning and then going back through them all again in turn. I have to say that since listening to the meditations, I have not experienced the effects I had been having due to the trauma. I am sincerely thankful that I found these meditations and have recommended them to a family member that I think could also benefit from them. Many, many, many thanks to Roland for this great work in helping people make the emotional shifts needed to actually move beyond living with the effects of complex trauma!!!

I have found I can find a release.

Roland’s meditation series gently walks you through and allows you to begin to touch into the trauma response. I often find meditation quite difficult because trauma response doesn’t allow me to drop in. In actively addressing the Somatic reactions innate to trauma within the meditation I have found I can find a release.

Very helpful.

These meditations have been very helpful in guiding me more fully into embodiment.

Really speaks to the nuances of CPTSD.

Roland really speaks to the nuances of c-ptsd/developmental trauma. He helped me to understand the concept of needing to contain uncomfortable emotions in small doses with a safe trauma trained professional. He also helped me to understand the concept of how unresolved trauma has a cyclical nature and if not truly resolved, it can cause a person to become dependent on a therapist vs. true resolution. I highly recommend these ebooks.

 I am beginning to really understand.

I have lived with PTSD for most of my life. I have been to counseling and I am also studying psychology part time as I work. Your ebooks are very informative and I am beginning to really understand and process what I have experienced. You seem to really get what PTSD is about at the most basic level. I have found your words very helpful and reassuring to know that someone really understands. Thank you for sharing.

You have gained my trust 100%.

The information that Roland presents in these materials helped me to access deeper understanding of my own locked up emotions so I could make progress in recognizing, processing, and resolving them. Combined with some other healing modalities I recently made a quantum leap in releasing my own personal trauma and am now living a very happy and fulfilled life. The information presented by Roland was an essential piece of the puzzle that contributed to my healing, and for that I am grateful.

An extremely helpful survival guide.

To anyone suffering from any type of trauma, for example PTSD and CPTSD, Roland's material will definitely help you understand why your thought patterns and behaviors are so hard to change. These articles will most definitely help you be mindful and aware of what happens when certain daily situations trigger helplessness and severe forms of dissociation. An extremely helpful survival guide for trauma and PTSD to help you learn and better manage PTSD.

Helping me see what I needed.

I really needed help to move froward and release a lot in my life. I was stuck for a very long time and searching for a way to release myself and move forward. I went to see a psychologist, joined online groups, tried other methods, read a lot and searched a lot until I stumbled across this program. Nothing to date has been able to assist me and serve me as well as this program. Thanks you so much Roland for helping me see what I needed to and for helping me and those around me understand more. It is the first time since I have started searching that I have been able to confidently say that I can move forward with certainty.

Exceptional approach to healing trauma.

Roland's exceptional approach to healing trauma is the only one of its kind and the very best in the world .. there is now hope for healing, finally.. I refer to the ebooks frequently and find them comforting, restoring balance whilst nourishing the soul.

Compassionate and patient.

The trauma care meditations have helped me to get back in touch with my body, emotions and senses and are informative and interesting. Roland's approach is compassionate and patient and the gentle, guiding process helps me to feel safe, relaxed and confident to grow my awareness and to explore and learn more about myself. The explanation and guidance on control, anxiety and resistance was an eye opener for me as I wasn't even aware of all the control and resistance was exercising.

An invaluable guide.

These meditations have been an invaluable guide in gradually and safely learning how to lean into and hold space for post-trauma pain.

Clear understanding of trauma.

It gave a clear understanding of trauma and its effects on a person which helped to validate my feelings and explain things in a way that resonated with me. I’ve since been in touch with my therapist again to continue with my plan to heal.

Well written content.

Well written content. Roland articulates the challenges of trauma in a very accessible way.

Great set of information

Great set of information to use as an adjunct to therapy. Succinct and profound counterpoint to Bessel van der Kolk's broader overview ‘the body keeps the score.’ I strongly recommend anyone dealing with significant Trauma see specialized therapists and read these books.

Really opened my eyes.

The ebook series really opened my eyes about trauma and PTSD. I found myself resonating with symptoms which helped me understand what I’m going through. The eBooks were so informing and well worth the read!! I’m grateful for the wealth of information.

Excellent.

Very comprehensive and I achieved some new learning from each book and found the meditation exercises really good.

A wonderful confirmation.

I have been in a process of healing a complex trauma for a long time now, and can say that I have finally gotten to a place where the wound is not the central driver of my life anymore! But of course, there are so many layers to the work, one can always understand further! And I do fully agree that a combination of somatic and cognitive work is needed in order to heal. Your ebooks have been a wonderful confirmation for me, and it has also helped me cognitively understand some details I didn't before. Things about guilt, for example, and how guilt is a way to conceptualize the pain, in order to escape it. Thank you for your work!

I have found I can find a release.

Although at this point I have not completed reading all the information due to difficulty in holding my focus and maintaining concentration I have found much of what I’ve read as confirming. This was brain food ; my brain can rationally see the way Truama plays out my emotional side struggles. Theses books have given me tools with which I can begin to sort what I need to nurture, what I want to nurture and what I can let go of. Thank you.

Very helpful.

These meditations have been very helpful in guiding me more fully into embodiment.

A fresh perspective.

Very concise and precise information is conveyed. Most of it was a review for me yet with a fresh perspective and a deeper level than before.

To set a lot of people free.

Roland Bal has amazing insight when it comes to the mechanics of trauma and its effects on some people. He applies this knowledge in his ebooks and online material to set a lot of people free. Thank you!

Major resource for me in healing.

I have found Roland’s audio meditations to be a major resource for me in healing from trauma. I use them regularly. Roland’s knowledge of trauma is incredible and the meditations are delivered at slow and steady pace. I find this very helpful for keeping myself regulated and for building resilience.

Valued their content.

As a veteran of abuse & bullying—and the trauma associated—I can really appreciate how these help others who’ve not had the opportunity to connect to their core emotional issues. I certainly enjoyed them and valued their content, along with the eBooks. In gratitude of your work.

Informative and useful.

I found these books informative and useful. Having just been diagnosed with dissociative disorders I needed to understand what it was and how to cope. I am still working my way through the books but the information is helping me to understand.

Useful tools.

For me these books gave clarity to the confusing nature of my symptoms. Information and guidance in the books have both been useful tools so far in my journey towards healing my ptsd.

Important information that resonated.

The trauma series helped me navigate through important information that resonated with my experience with PTSD. They also gave me the tools to understand the complexity and how the process of therapy works. Thank you, Roland.

It’s invaluable.

I listen to the meditations twice daily. It has really helped me to sleep through the night after so many years of not sleeping. I also listen to the anxiety meditation upon wakening to help manage my anxiety when needed. It’s invaluable. Many thanks

Explains PTSD and its symptoms incredibly well.

Roland explains PTSD and its symptoms incredibly well and have found all his writing both informative and healing. Thank you so much.

Excellent books on trauma and complex-ptsd. I keep wanting to read everything over and over. I’ve learned a lot of information that is fresh and relevant.

Excellent resource and outstanding value.

Excellent resource and outstanding value. Top practitioners in their field and much-needed research and expertise for trauma treatments, with deep implications for human rights and ethical policy development. Thank you!
