Healing Trauma+: A Brief Intervention for Women and Gender-Diverse People

Healing Trauma+: A Brief Intervention for Women and Gender-Diverse People (3rd Edition)

[Covington, S. and Russo, R. (2011, rev. 2016 and 2021). Center City, MN: Hazelden Publishing]

This newly revised third edition of Healing Trauma is now entitled Healing Trauma+: A Brief Intervention for Women and Gender-Diverse People.  Our understanding of gender has shifted from the binary male-female model to a more inclusive and expansive model. In order to reflect these changes, the definition of gender responsive has been expanded to include the experiences of transgender and nonbinary people. This new material has inclusive pronouns, as well as examples of traumatic events and focus questions specific to this group.

The materials focus on the three core things that both staff and clients need to know: an understanding of what trauma is, its process, and its impact on both the inner self (thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values) and the outer self (behavior and relationships).  The session topics include: the process of trauma, power and abuse, grounding and self-soothing, and healthy relationships.  There is a strong emphasis on grounding skills.

Healing Trauma+ is an evidence-based program and an adaptation of the best-selling Beyond Trauma: A Healing Journey for Women. It is particularly designed for settings requiring a shorter intervention: jails, domestic violence agencies, and sexual assault services.  The facilitator's guide and participant's workbook are on a flash drive which allows for easy duplication.  The workbook is written in both English and Spanish.  There is introductory material on trauma for the facilitator and then detailed instructions (specific lesson plans) for the sessions.
