Gratitude & Inner Wisdom Journal for Trauma Survivors: with Prompts & Educational Support for Self-Guided Healing

By Tamara Ridge LMFT

*Author edit* - DON'T BUY THIS BOOK! I came to Amazon and saw the 1 review and realized my work on this book wasn't finished! Because I want to give you my very best, I've gone back to the drawing board and am working on improving. As a survivor of childhood trauma, I sometimes forget the details leading up to the information I think you need to know for the self-healing process. Even though I've healed, I forget the details sometimes. That's why I've pulled this book.

As part of my efforts to create the best experience for you, I'm creating a focus group of trauma survivors so we can work through the concepts I've covered here and make sure there is everything included to help you succeed!

As a licensed therapist, I often help people heal by answering questions with information needed for healing. If you've purchased this book already and would like to participate in the revision, please reach out to me. I'm going to post a Don't Buy This Book video on my YouTube channel. Find it and let me know you've already purchased by commenting on the video. I'll include you in the focus group process, which includes a complementary copy of the Second Edition (which is already turning out to be much more substantial) to show you that your time, effort and money mean something to me.

XO,

If you grew up in a home where you experienced chronic trauma, you've come to expect negative experiences because of the impact of chronic trauma on your brain. Many people speak of the benefits of gratitude practices or affirmations in terms of how it leads to a life filled with more happiness, but childhood trauma requires a solution that is more complex and nuanced to help you shift from negative expectations to seeing yourself and your circumstances as potentially life fulfilling and positive. Although it is more difficult to adopt a positive mindset following trauma, this practice will help you see your current situation more clearly and heal more quickly. In this one of a kind guided journal, Marriage & Family Therapist and complex trauma survivor Tamara Ridge walks you through exercises that will illuminate the impact of trauma for you in several areas of living, will offer you a way to address the trauma that empowers you to reclaim your inner wisdom (that existed before and in spite of the trauma) and invites you to practice small steps toward feeling empowered instead of overwhelmed in day to day life. These simple exercises will help you see where you have choices in spite of the fact that your past would have you believe that there is none.
