Finding Solid Ground Program Workbook: Overcoming Obstacles in Trauma Recovery
Finding Solid Ground was developed based on an understanding of the neurobiological impact of trauma. The program helps survivors understand that their symptoms are normal brain adaptations to trauma, and teaches skills that help heal the impact of trauma on the person’s brain and body.
The workbook provides a step-by-step approach to this important work at an individualized pace, and offers specific exercises to practice daily that will help people who have experienced trauma learn how to manage and reduce their symptoms, get and feel safer, and develop a grounded, worthy sense of self. This book includes the Information Sheets and Exercises that are the foundation for the Finding Solid Ground program.
