Mindful Monsters Therapeutic Workbook: EMDR Edition (Be Mindful of Mon

Accepting a painful feeling, rather than pushing it away, is hard for most of us and harder still for children. Lauren Stockly, a practising child mental health therapist, wrote this workbook for children going through EMDR therapy, using games and activities to make sense of feelings, trauma and the slow work of healing. The friendly characters and Ellen Surrey's illustrations come from Be Mindful of Monsters, and the workbook pairs with the EMDR edition of that bestselling picture book, though it also works on its own.

There is guidance for therapists and parents, and the activities adapt to a range of ages and needs, at home, at school or in the therapy room. It is meant for families and clinicians already involved in EMDR; anyone else will be better served by the original edition. A gentle, practical companion for a child doing brave work.
