Dollhouse Brain: Exploring Complex Childhood Trauma and Brain Development

By Allison Romens

Can a cat, a tutu, and a remoste control help Clara heal her brain from early childhood trauma? Find out in this creative adventure while learning about brain science and the power a little girl has over her aggression. ADHD and PTSD can't slow her down as she practices her magical therapy skills to rebuild what her brain missed as a baby. In this children's book, kids ages 6 to 12, and adults will learn about the developmental changes a brain goes through when under stress during early childhood. Clara introduces her magical powers, which are her learned coping skills through play therapy, to show how she can overcome the maladaptive challenges she struggles with daily. Replaying events through play therapy and taking breaks to complete body scans show the mastery of psychotherapy approaches to healing early childhood trauma.
