​ Trauma Recovery Goals

Hi Friends!

I’ve got an activity for you.

 

Find a mirror at home or go to the bathroom.

Read each statement out loud while looking yourself in the eyes.

Pause and take a deep breathe in between reading each statement.

Note: The book below is a great resource as well!
