Massachusetts Educators Announce Trauma-Sensitive Book on Separation/Attachment
Trauma-Sensitive book “My Pocketbook" promotes an understanding of the import of transitional objects for all.
The story is followed by a series of questions to engage readers young and old. There are opportunities for readers to share their own stories, create their own pocketbooks and unravel the history of pocketbooks - they originated centuries ago and were also used by men! This story is trauma-sensitive, specifically designed to encourage engagement, connection, creativity, and a deep belief in the power of lessening trauma’s impact, including through stories told and retold and shared and reshared.
