Trauma Timeline Worksheet

Worksheets are tools that are important to mental health professionals. They might seem like assignments, but these are essential to mapping key events, symptoms, emotional states, and more that need to be identified to help kickstart one's healing journey.

If they're more comfortable that way, yes. However, this is trauma we're seeking to address. They might be so affected by whatever traumatized them that they might not know where to start. We recommend being there to ask guide questions because doing so will nudge them in a direction where they can look back at what happened to them.

You can use it as much as you want. The spaces the worksheet has are limited, so we recommend having multiple copies to better keep track of everything in the patient's trauma timeline. We also recommend using this every now and then throughout the patient's healing journey so you and your patient can see how far they have come.
