Why This Workbook?

What if healing didn’t have to be explained with words?

When you’ve experienced trauma, it’s common to feel disconnected from your body, your emotions and even your sense of self. Sometimes, talking about it isn’t just hard but feels impossible.

Express & Heal offers a gentle and creative alternative. 

Grounded in Judith Herman’s 3-phase model of trauma recovery, this workbook supports you to rebuild safety, process what’s been held and reconnect with your inner world - through therapeutic art.

Inside, you’ll find 15 therapeutic art activities designed to help you:

  • Regulate your nervous system

  • Reclaim your story, at your own pace

  • Express what words can’t always hold

No art skills needed - just a willingness utilise expressive practices and show up for yourself with compassion. 

What’s Inside:

  • 15 therapeutic art activities grounded in trauma theory

  • Based on Judith Herman’s trauma recovery phases:

    1. Safety & Stabilisation

    2. Remembrance & Mourning

    3. Reconnection & Integration

  • Simple instructions, symbolic prompts, and reflection space

  • Gentle creative invitations using colour, collage, shape & metaphor

  • Designed for both print and digital (iPad/tablet-friendly)
