This guidebook is part of The Trauma Recovery Toolkit, a guidebook and flashcard set that has been created to empower individuals living with the effects of trauma and the mental health professionals that support them.

The flashcard format enables trauma survivors to creatively respond to visual aids and prompts in a way that is comfortable for them, providing mental health professionals with a more creative and person-centred approach to directing clients towards their own healing journey.

This resource comprises:

38 colourful flashcards that can be used as standalone visual aids or as a platform for creative responses A guidebook delving into the individual cards, their meaning and symbolism, and the research behind them Additional resources to support the client’s development of their own personalised cards

Weaving together psychoeducation, creativity, symbolism, and the latest neuroscientific research, this essential toolkit offers all professionals working in mental health services a creative way to engage clients with therapy, empowering them to develop habits and ways of being that can support their recovery.

Intended for use in educational settings and/or therapy contexts under the supervision of an adult. This is not a toy.

Reviews for The Trauma Recovery Toolkit: The Resource Book: A Creative Approach to Psychoeducation

Praise for The Trauma Recovery Toolkit 9780367546908 These wonderfully illustrated cards will be tremendously helpful in therapeutic work with trauma survivors. By bringing to life exciting yet complex information about neurobiology and trauma, they offer a compassionate and wise set of resources for exploring and healing from trauma. Highly recommended. Dr Jacqui Dillon, Independent Trauma Expert, Survivor and Activist This is a comprehensive compilation of trauma concepts and visual exercises for mental health clients with trauma histories. The beautifully illustrated flash cards provide a creative path beyond the verbal approach and can be used in partnership with professionals or by clients themselves. The visual approach produces many wonderful and apposite metaphors that will resonate with clients and help provide ways forward for people who may have been stuck for years. This is a remarkable resource for the expanding field of trauma treatment. Dr Marian Liebmann, Art therapist and author
