Healing Through Creative Expression After Traumatic, Sudden, or Unexpected Loss

Traumatic grief can shatter your sense of safety, identity, and connection in an instant. This trauma-informed art therapy workbook offers a gentle, compassionate space to navigate grief after a loss that was sudden, unexpected, violent, or overwhelming. Designed by Licensed Therapist & Registered Art Therapist Emily Bell, M.A., Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Registered Art Therapist (ATR), LPCC, this workbook blends mindful art therapy prompts, psychoeducation, grounding skills, and reflective exercises to support your healing at your own pace.

Emily’s professional work is deeply shaped by her own lived experience of sudden loss, giving her a unique ability to write with both clinical insight and genuine compassion. She understands firsthand how disorienting, isolating, and life-altering traumatic grief can be — and brings that understanding gently into the pages of this workbook.

Her mission is to reduce stigma around grief, increase access to creative arts therapy, and offer supportive tools for people navigating the experiences of losses that are often misunderstood.

Whether your loss was recent or years ago, this guided workbook helps you understand traumatic grief, reconnect with yourself, and slowly rebuild a sense of meaning and identity after life has changed in ways you never asked for.
