Choices: Healing from Trauma

Choices: Healing from Trauma – Overview

When trauma shapes how people show up at work and in life, they need support that is both gentle and actionable. Choices: Healing from Trauma is a compassionate trauma healing workbook that guides participants to understand triggers, choose calming responses, and rebuild a sense of control. Specifically, it blends reflection, skill practice, and step-by-step planning so progress feels safe, steady, and real.

Moreover, this trauma healing workbook fits neatly alongside our other titles—see the full catalog in Healthcare Training Books and Certifications or browse the main Books & Certifications page.

Why this trauma healing workbook helps

First, it normalizes common reactions to stress and loss, reducing shame and isolation. Next, it introduces grounding and regulation skills people can use during difficult moments. Finally, it builds sustainable habits so participants move from reactive coping to intentional choices over time. In addition, team leaders can layer it with our live Courses & Certifications for practice and coaching.

What’s inside

• Gentle psychoeducation that explains trauma responses in clear, non-clinical language

• Guided reflections that surface patterns, triggers, and body cues

• Regulation tools (breathwork, grounding, self-talk scripts, micro-breaks)

• Relationship skills for boundaries, feedback, and repair

• Action planning to translate insight into next-shift behavior

• Team empathy exercises to support peers thoughtfully and avoid re-triggering

Additionally, the trauma healing workbook includes facilitator notes for group use, making it ideal for staff huddles or peer-support circles.

How to implement

Use the trauma healing workbook three ways:

1. Self-study: One chapter per week (20–30 minutes) with brief reflections.

2. Small groups: Discuss one scenario in team huddles; commit to one practice for the week.

3. Facilitated sessions: Pair with our instructor-led options from Courses & Certifications and schedule dates on the training calendar.

For rollout help, connect with our team to match pacing and privacy guidelines to your setting.
