The Art of Healing Trauma Coloring Book Heidi Hanson

Slow down, tune into yourself and relax while you color 20 beautiful illustrations centered around the theme of recovering from traumatic life experiences. Each of the first 13 illustrations in this adult coloring book is accompanied by a mindfulness activity or somatic therapy exercise that teaches you how to ground into your body and self-regulate your own nervous system. These body awareness activities are not just useful for trauma recovery; they can also help to reduce stress and anxiety. The last seven illustrations are accompanied by messages that address various deeper aspects of the process of healing from trauma. These seven pages of poetry and written word were created to be short meditations to sink into while coloring. Illustrated and written by artist Heidi Hanson, creator of New-Synapse.com Tools for Self Healing and The Art of Healing Trauma Blog.
