• Good to know: it never asks you to write about what happened; it is not therapy or trauma treatment, and working through painful memories belongs with a trained professional

The origin

After hard things, the body often hasn't heard the news that the danger has passed. We researched the published principles of stabilisation in trauma-informed care and refined them in the lab into steady, present-focused practices.

What this edition offers

• How the body remembers, the window of tolerance, your own window and a reminders map
• Six instruments: Grounding Through the Senses, Then and Now, Breath and the Body, the Calm Place and the Vault, the Gentle Thought Table and Keeping the Hearth
• A When the Past Pulls card and your circles of support
• A twenty-eight-day practice in four weeks: Settling, Grounding, Understanding and Tending

How to use it

Skip anything, stop any time, and practise on calmer days. Hearthstone is CBT-informed and trauma-informed, for education and reflection. It is not therapy or trauma treatment; working through painful memories belongs with a trained professional.
