Therapeutic Conversations – A start to talking about trauma

When the young person that you care for has been through trauma at some point in their life, and you want an ‘in’ to start to talk about that. Sometimes you can use symbolism as that spark that you need to make a start. This video makes use of a sandwheel.. as a means to ask three simple questions about trauma.

Listen to the video and then take off the sound and then show it to your young person.. I suggest a way of getting started in making that connection with trauma, bit maybe you have your own ideas on that.

Once the link to trauma is made.. then ask the three questions I suggest.

This may be the start of long and fruitful journey between you.. I do hope so.
