Through It All: Trauma Recovery Journal

by Heddy Keith

This trauma recovery journal opens the wound and lets oxygen in so healing can begin. Sprinkled throughout the book are 280 pages of writing prompts and quotes to help jog creativity. It can be used individually or in trauma recovery groups.I wrote this journal to help other people heal themselves using expressive writing as I did. In this book, you'll find many thought-provoking quotes from a variety of people. Each page has room for your thoughts and feelings about the quote, or you can write something unrelated. The quotes will help jog your memory. If you write about your feelings honestly, you will heal. If you let go and express your truth, you will be transformed.Trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that produces psychological injury or emotional pain. Traumatic experiences often occur during childhood. Later in adulthood, they may contribute to chronic health problems such as cancer, cardiovascular and lung diseases, or diabetes. An estimated 1 in 4 children has some form of child abuse or neglect in his or her lifetime. In 2015, about 1,670 children died nationwide from abuse or neglect. The total lifetime costs are $124 billion a year."Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know." Pema ChodronThe effects of unresolved Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's) can be devastating and affect habits and lead to addictions and poor choices. It can take a toll on relationships and family life. Traumatic events can trigger physical pain and disease or cause self-destructive behaviors.
