Journal Prompts after a Traumatic Event
These are in no particular order. Journaling is a great way to express what may be tucked away in the subconscious, and it can create relief of things survivors may not be ready to share.
-How am I feeling in this moment?
-What areas of my body need gentle and nonjudgmental attention?
-What are some questions I have about the incident?
-Who are people that help me feel safe?
-What are some fears that I am noticing because this happened? (may be new or long-ago fears)
-What do I wish I could tell others about how to support me?
