Description
Three files for the client who carries trauma
Your next client freezes when you ask about home. You want more than talk this week: something to hand over, and words for the moments when talk fails.
The bundle holds three PDFs. A 92-page book of more than 500 validating statements, grouped by what the client is going through, with a best-practice guide on using them in session. A 19-page set of trauma worksheets on triggers and coping skills. And a trauma workbook for the client to work through at home.
Inside the bundle
- 500+ validating coaching statements for trauma work, 92 pages
- Best practice for using validating statements in session
- Trauma worksheets, 19 pages: trigger and coping skills, trauma triggers and the problem they cause
- A trauma workbook for client homework
Trauma therapy worksheets for the moments talk runs out
Your client starts to describe a night at home, stops mid-sentence and goes quiet. You want to say something which neither pushes nor dismisses. The words you reach for sound like a script.
Validation tells a client their reaction makes sense given what happened to them. In trauma work it often comes before any technique, because a client who feels judged will not stay long enough to try one. The 500+ statements in this bundle are grouped by theme, from establishing safety and trust to recognising trauma responses, setting healthy boundaries and addressing shame and guilt. The trigger and coping worksheets then turn the conversation into something the client writes down.
Who these trauma worksheets for counsellors suit
- Counsellors and psychotherapists starting work with a client who has a trauma history
- Coaches who meet trauma in sessions and want careful language
- Trainees building vocabulary for difficult disclosures
- Practitioners who set homework between sessions
How to bring the bundle into sessions
Read the best-practice guide first. Before a session, pick the theme closest to where your client is, such as building emotional awareness or acknowledging loss and grief. Choose two statements which fit your own voice and say them in your own words rather than reading them out.
Once a client names a trigger, move to the trauma worksheets and write down the trigger, the problem it causes and one coping skill to try. The client workbook goes home with them. For a client ready for longer structured work, the PTSD and trauma processing workbook follows on. The nervous system regulation guide suits clients who freeze in session.
