For those who have endured trauma, life can often feel overwhelming, with a constant struggle to balance feelings of too much or too little. The world can seem like a perilous and frightening place, particularly for those who have been harmed by those they trusted or relied upon. In an attempt to escape the pain, many trauma survivors disconnect from themselves and the world, engaging in risky or unsafe behaviors. However, there is hope. Survivors can heal, recover from trauma, and grow. The Finding Solid Ground Program Workbook is an invaluable guide through this transformative process, offering a step-by-step approach at a pace designed to feel safe.

This workbook, which can be used independently or in conjunction with psychotherapy, is authored by experts who provide guidance and specific exercises to help survivors feel safer and develop a grounded and worthy sense of self. It includes the Information Sheets and Exercises that form the foundation of the Finding Solid Ground program, as well as the companion book for therapists, Finding Solid Ground: Overcoming Obstacles in Trauma Treatment. Therapists will find that this program breaks down recovery into practical and manageable steps that can be implemented immediately.

Participation in the Finding Solid Ground program in the TOP DD Network study was associated with improved ability to manage emotions in healthy ways and reduced dissociation, posttraumatic stress symptoms, and self-injury.

It is important to note that healing from trauma is a journey that requires patience, support, and dedication. The Finding Solid Ground Program Workbook and its accompanying resources provide a valuable framework for survivors to begin their journey toward recovery and growth. If you or someone you know is struggling with the effects of trauma, please seek the help of a qualified healthcare professional.
