Why This Trauma Recovery Workbook Is the Perfect Companion to EMDR and Polyvagal-Informed Therapy

Posted on July, 2025


If you're stepping into trauma therapy—especially modalities like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) or polyvagal-informed approaches—you’re already doing one of the bravest things a person can do: choosing to heal. But what if there was a way to make each session more powerful, your progress more integrated, and your healing process more supported?


That’s where my Trauma Recovery Workbook comes in.


Whether you’re working with me in an 8-week therapy series or partnered with another trauma-informed therapist, this self-paced, science-rooted workbook was designed to be the steady guide you didn’t know you needed.


The Missing Link Between Sessions


Trauma healing isn’t linear. Sometimes the most powerful insights happen betweensessions, not just during them. This workbook bridges that gap by offering you structured, brain-body-based tools you can use on your own time.


Inside, you’ll find 40 short yet potent lessons, each one crafted to help you process, integrate, and regulate with intention.


These aren’t just coping techniques. They’re transformation tools—grounded in neuroscience and built to help you rewire your nervous system from the inside out.


How It Supports EMDR Therapy


If you’re engaging in EMDR, the workbook includes preparation exercises that strengthen your internal resourcing—so you walk into each session feeling more grounded and ready.


You’ll learn how to:


● Build and reinforce safe spaces in your nervous system

● Deepen your ability to stay present during EMDR reprocessing

● Reflect and integrate insights between sessions


These preparatory tools are ideal for maximizing the therapeutic impact of EMDR by helping your system feel resilient, supported, and safe.


How It Supports Polyvagal-Informed Healing


Polyvagal theory teaches us that safety isn’t just a concept—it’s a felt sense in the body. This workbook offers nervous system-regulation practicesinspired by polyvagal wisdom, helping you reconnect to a sense of calm, connection, and self-trust.


You’ll explore:


● Gentle ways to come out of freeze states

● Tools for reducing sympathetic overwhelm

● Daily practices to help your body experience co-regulation and self-regulation


Whether you're learning to track your nervous system states or create new rhythms of safety, this workbook helps you apply theory in a way that feels real, usable, and kind to your pace.


Built for Flexibility and Real Life


Healing doesn't follow a perfect calendar. That’s why this workbook is flexible by design. You can move through lessons weekly, daily, or whenever your schedule and energy allow.


Working with a therapist? Use it as a guide between sessions.


Going solo? You’re not alone. You’ll have access to my YouTube channel TraumaRecoveryNow4u, where I walk you through many of the workbook’s tools in short, supportive videos.


This is trauma recovery at your pace—with resources that honor the courage it takes to keep going.


A Companion, Not Just a Workbook


This isn’t about doing more homework.

It’s about deepening the work you’re already doing, whether in therapy or on your own.


You’ll be supported with:


Brainspotting-inspired prompts to help access and release stuck emotions

Reflective journaling to process what your body is holding

Science-backed tools that turn insight into integration


Every page is created to walk with you—not push, pressure, or overwhelm you.


Are You Ready for a Deeper Kind of Healing?


The trauma recovery journey can feel lonely—but it doesn’t have to be. With this workbook, you’ll have a steady guide by your side as you take one step, one breath, one breakthrough at a time.


Let’s walk it together.
