Trauma and the 12 Steps: a Trauma Responsive Workbook

Unhealed trauma is a blocking factor and why many people in recovery stop short of engaging in step work. Jamie and Steve seek to break down the process in a gentle yet action-oriented manner. Each step contains a personal reflection from both Jamie and Steve on how they work the step, a teaching on how unhealed trauma blocks may make a step difficult, with solutions for how to address, brainstorming activities for writing, guided by questions, expressive arts options offered in place or in addition to writing, and a specially-prepared meditation for each step. This step workbook also offers variations for people who are working the step for the first time, and for those who may be on a repeat journey through the steps.
