a trauma informed approach to wellness – in pdf

Created by Dr Sarah Temple in 2019, this e-book  provides a history of how the mindful emotion coaching programme came to be. It is an invitation to join us in building skills and capabilities within public services and communities so that we are all able to respond more effectively to the emotional and mental health needs of children and young people and to the experience of childhood adversity or trauma.

 Wellness involves understanding and balancing the connections between the brain, the body, our social environment and childhood experience.

In order to be ‘present’ in mind, body and environment we need to regularly practise being relationship-aware by caring for ourselves with kindness and compassion and building our emotion intelligence.

“Emotion Coaching is a step in the right direction. It is vital that this approach becomes fully understood and embedded in our consultations as clinicians”
