In those courses, we use symbols to explain trauma in a clear and visual way: simple objects like a bell, a folder and a phone. In this illustrated guide, Anne van den Ouwelant explains those symbols. This practical explanation proves to be an eye-opener. It is applicable worldwide, suitable for young and old.
