“Because the stress response disrupts general information processing, survivors of trauma live in a somatic world rather than a world of language.”
—McFarlane
Psychoeducational supports for trauma treatment
A Psychoeducational flip chart with 22 diagrams and charts summarizing the most current research and theoretical concepts in trauma treatment in simple graphic designs. The use of these simple diagrams increases the ability of the client to understand the nature of the symptoms and the treatment. Clients feel a sense of relief as their puzzling and disturbing reactions begin to make sense, and therapists find the flip chart a road in to helping the change process begin. Topics covered: common symptoms and difficulties related to experiences of trauma, effects on the nervous system and brain, traumatic attachment, addictions and trauma, dissociative phenomena, and stages of treatment.
Available in two convenient sizes:
A small size: 10X13. $45 (plus shipping and handling).
