This one-of-a-kind theoretical and practical workbook provides couples with tools to work towards healing their relationships and experiences of trauma. It will be an invaluable resource for mental health professionals working with trauma survivors and those who are using Developmental Couple Therapy for Complex Trauma (DCTCT) with the couples they work with.Serving as a self-help guide for couples as well as a companion to Developmental Couple Therapy for Complex Trauma: A Manual for Therapists, this workbook provides couples with accessible exercises they can work with on their own and for clinicians to share with their clients to support their therapy work. Chapters cover psychoeducation, skills building, attachment focused dyadic processing, and consolidation so couples can bring these new skills and insights into daily life. Featuring downloadable handouts and journal reflections, as well as questions and discussion prompts throughout, the author holds in mind the varied backgrounds that patients come from, such as their cultural, ethnic, community, sexual and gender identities, and socio-economic group, and integrates these diverse needs into the exercises, thus providing inclusivity within the treatment process. The book is essential reading for trauma survivor couples and individuals looking to build stronger and healthier relationships, as well as couple and family therapists, counsellors, and other mental health professionals who help clients navigate experiences of trauma.
