Help the child entrusted to you to cope with challenging situations, strengthen their self-esteem, or find solutions to problems through special stories. This clearly written nonfiction book offers tips for creating well-structured, helpful stories. Their structure follows a guideline based on insights from trauma psychology (EMDR) and systemic therapy. Over 40 examples on topics such as divorce, illness, hyperactivity, grief, violence, self-esteem, or migration illustrate exactly how to do it. This enables you to create your own texts. Alternatively, you can search for and collect ready-made stories, as the provided background knowledge helps to identify and purposefully use healing elements in films, video games, or fairy tales. Trauma expert and multiple author Mag.a Helga Kernstock-Redl provides valuable insights on this topic.
