Purchase options and add-ons

Three art therapists have collaborated to produce this unique workbook. Designed especially for trauma survivors, Managing Traumatic Stress Through Art introduces inventive ways to understand, manage, and transform the aftereffects of trauma. This dynamic workbook consists of carefully structured step-by-step art projects, augmented by tearout images, and writing experiences. The book's first section, Developing Basic Tools For Managing Stress, is devoted to establishing a safe framework for trauma resolution. The second section, Acknowledging and Regulating Your Emotions, helps the trauma survivor to make sense of overwhelming emotional experiences. The final section, Being and Functioning in the World, focuses on self and relational development, leading into the future. Managing Traumatic Stress Through Art will inspire survivors to explore the aftermath of traumatic stress as it affects self-image, relationships with others, and functioning in the world. The 26 projects in this book encourage creative growth and help to establish a sense of personal safety, while exploring and honoring feelings of anger, fear, shame, and sadness. The art experiences are broad enough to be of value to survivors of a wide variety of traumatic experiences, ranging from childhood abuse to accidents to disabling mental illness. This workbook offers an opportunity to everyone, regardless of previous experience or artistic talent, to manage symptoms of traumatic stress in a creative, life-affirming way.

"I am wildly enthusiastic about this book. I think it's one of the best things I've ever seen for survivors....It provides survivors with a realistic and hopeful process, utilizing art, that guides them from honoring the past to releasing emotions safely to building an array of healthy coping strategies to a sense of empowerment and hope." --Eliana Gil, Ph.D., Director, Center for Advanced Clinical Development, Springfield, VA

Unlike drugs, art REALLY can move you through your grief and loss.......

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2012

Verified Purchase

As a clinician and an artist and a survivor of child loss grief, I found this book to be an excellent choice for survivors
to use on their own along with having some kind of professional clinical support. I admire the authors for their very careful
and considered organization of the exercises. It is clear that they have a great deal of collective experience which they
artfully and empathically bring to these pages. The idea that NO ART TALENT is needed to make art is perhaps the core of
this work and if the user can accept that then the art they produce will be releasing for them emotionally and they will
face the messages that they deliver to themselves via their process. GOING THROUGH (not around or past) grief, loss and trauma is what might bring
personal peace and the ability to gain PURPOSE in life again (perhaps not hope) or a MISSION that moves you forward.

Heal yourself with art.

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2015

Verified Purchase

I believe that the process of making art can help people on the path to healing, and I am finding this book helpful and easy to follow. It's a good resource for professionals to use with individuals or groups, or for anyone to use on their own. Contrary to some of the negative reviews here, the art supplies suggested for the projects are easily obtained and are inexpensive (student grade acrylic paints, color pencils, oil pastels), or are commonly available at home already (scissors, glue, old magazines). I would recommend this book to anyone interested in an introduction to art therapy with practical applications.

Only on the 3rd or 4th activity in the book and I really enjoy it, but it does take a LOT of time, and I find it very hard to find the time to sit down and do this without interruption.

A remarkable tool.

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2000

Verified Purchase

This extraordinary work enabled me to work through my great stress and associated feelings after my Father was diagnosed with stomach cancer which resulted in his death. I am grateful to the authors for creating such a powerful, accessible, and healing book. The instruction is clear, concise, and most importantly, easy to follow. Guidance is offered when challenging feelings arise. One never feels left in the lurch. And I don't believe you must be an artist, at all, to use this book, though you might be prompted to continue working with the simple and easily aquired materials the authors suggest. I can't say enough about the usefulness of this book for dealing with emotional trauma.

This is a wonderful resource to use with clients in high stress living environments and/or who have extensive trauma histories. I work in a milieu setting with clients who are currently or have previously been experiencing homelessness and use the activities in this book regularly to help them build resilience.

I was a little discouraged when I saw the first exercise. I put my doubts aside and did it. I was so impressed with the results!!! I had no idea how helpful it was going to be. I now love this book and I am going to keep doing the exercises in it. It has helped so much... I am now very aware of the fact that when I become stressed I have breathing issues. So helpful!
