TRAUMA NARRATIVE TREATMENT is an evidence-based group narrative therapy approach using a wide range of elements from trauma research, including linguistic representation, externalization, reauthoring, body work, mindfulness, relaxation techniques, art, music, and movement toward the integration of traumatic memories. The six-session model addresses the variety of issues resulting from trauma, such as the loss of a sense of self, fragmentation of memories, feelings of shame and self-blame, rage, feelings of powerlessness, loss of agency, dissociation, grief, loss, compromised social functioning, and spiritual disengagement. The model has been used world-wide, including in Haiti, Rwanda, New Zealand, the United States, the Middle East, Malaysia, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Cambodia, the Dominican Republic, and more.

Sofas Only Come Out at Night is a humorous children's book about a little girl who keeps losing things. Because she keeps finding her things under the sofa, she concludes that sofas come alive at night and take things from around the house. She even imagines the sofas holding a community yard sale, exchanging their stolen items for coins they keep in their cushions. Come along with her and discover the true nature of this mystery as she learns the importance of taking care of her belongings and slowing down to enjoy each day as it comes.
