Mindful Monsters Therapeutic Workbook: EMDR Edition

A paperback versions of the Mindful Monsters Therapeutic Workbook: EMDR Edition

After going through a traumatic experience, we often try to escape from the difficult feelings and memories that come after. But in order to heal from these experiences, we need to revisit them. Confronting the things we would most like to avoid is daunting at any age, and for children, it can seem extremely counterintuitive.

In this workbook, you will find a wide range of interactive exercises, interventions and metaphors designed to prepare and help children through EMDR trauma therapy. Short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR is the top evidence-based treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and related issues. By introducing a calming, side-to-side motion called bilateral stimulation while the painful experience is recalled, EMDR allows the brain to reprocess and reduce the emotional charge of upsetting memories.

Adapted from the bestselling children's book “Be Mindful of Monsters,” this workbook can be used by therapists, teachers and parents on its own or in conjunction with the storybook.

Comes with a bonus printable eBook that will be emailed to you after purchase.
