What is the Physical Symptoms of Trauma worksheet?
The physical symptoms of trauma worksheet is a colouring sheet for children. It names bodily symptoms such as headaches, tummy hurts and heart beats fast. Shaky or wobbly and hard to breathe follow, each drawn or coloured onto the body.
How to use the Physical Symptoms of Trauma worksheet
Use it in session with a child. The colour code lets a child answer without needing the words: red for places that hurt, blue for shaky, green for tight or funny. Each symptom carries its own instruction, such as Color where your head hurts. Ask the question the sheet asks, whether these things happen when they feel upset or scared, rather than naming trauma. Your clients can keep it and add to it between sessions.
