Looking for a new approach for self-help or to support individual or group therapy for those who experienced childhood trauma? In his guidebook, “The Historical Trauma Programme - For Self-help or to Support Individual Therapy” Bill Wahl introduces a comprehensive and science-based model of working with trauma. With over ten years in the field, Counselling Psychologist Bill Wahl and 3 dozen NHS colleagues developed workbook-based models of trauma therapy which can be used for self-help, to support individual therapy, or as a comprehensive model of group therapy. The approach is reflected in two comprehensive and science-based books: The Historical Trauma Programme for Self-help or to Support Individual Therapy and The Historical Trauma Programme for Group Therapy. The books provide guidance whether the trauma is from childhood abuse, neglect, or abandonment, etc. The books are filled with strategies to help clinicians in their work and individuals with a trauma history.
