What book do you recommend to other people most often? Mine is The Body Keeps a Score by Bessel van der Koek.

Trauma Champions has always been a place to build your toolbox. Now I want to open the room a little wider — and let you add to the shelves too. Starting now, members are welcome to share their own content here. For this first season, we’re keeping it simple: freebies only. If you’ve made something that could help a fellow champion — a handout, a worksheet, a guided practice, a blog post, a video, a free workshop — this is your invitation to bring it in. You’re also welcome to point people toward your website, your programs, or your work, as long as what you’re actually sharing here is free and useful. Why the change? Because this community was never meant to be a one-way broadcast. Some of you are therapists, some are parents, pastors, teachers, and leaders — and you’re all doing real work with real tools. When one of us shares something that helps, all of us get stronger. That’s the whole idea. A few gentle guidelines so this stays a place that feels safe and generous, not spammy: ❤️ Lead with a gift. What you share here should be genuinely free and genuinely helpful on its own — no strings, no “sign up to unlock the real thing.” ❤️ Promote by pointing, not pushing. You’re welcome to link to your site, programs, or paid offers underneath your freebie. Just make the free resource the main event, and let the link be an invitation, not a sales pitch. ❤️ Keep it trauma-informed. Share resources that honor safety, choice, and dignity. This isn’t the place for anything shaming, fear-based, or “quick fix” in a way that could hurt vulnerable people. ❤️ Own your work — and honor others’. Only share what’s yours to share, or what you have clear rights to. If you’re building on someone else’s method or material, give credit. ❤️ Be clear about what people are getting. Say what the resource is, who it’s for, and how to use it. No bait-and-switch. ❤️ One share at a time. Post your resource, let it breathe, and engage with the responses before dropping the next one. This keeps the feed feeling like a community, not a marketplace.
