What is the theory behind this Trauma Group Therapy Worksheet?
Trauma is a negative emotional response to experiencing events that threaten to harm one’s mental, psychological and emotional well-being. One way that trauma survivors can seek help is to join group therapy sessions. In particular art therapy sessions, where various arts are used as a means of expression and stress relief, has shown to be of immense help for people suffering from recurrent trauma.
How will the worksheet help?
This worksheet can help clients gain a new understanding of their personal strengths through artistic expression. It will prompt them to look within themselves and find the qualities that can help them cope with their trauma and kickstart their healing process. Doing such an activity in a group setting also enables clients to feel less alone in their struggles.
How to use the worksheet?
This worksheet can be used in group trauma therapy in the initial sessions where the aim is to help clients realise their own personal strengths and acknowledge their abilities that can help them overcome their trauma. Instruct them to use any materials to make a collage representing their internal strengths.
