Aurora International Publishing presents “Healing Inside: PTSD Awareness Workbook for Incarcerated Individuals,” a practical resource designed to support trauma awareness and emotional stability for people living in correctional environments.
This workbook addresses a core challenge inside facilities: limited access to consistent mental-health support despite high rates of trauma and chronic stress. “Healing Inside” explains how trauma affects the brain and body, why certain reactions occur, and how individuals can build internal safety even when their surroundings remain unpredictable.
The first part introduces PTSD in clear, accessible language. Readers learn how the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex respond to danger and why those responses can continue long after the event. The material stays grounded in real situations familiar to incarcerated individuals, such as crowded units, sudden noise, isolation, and chronic uncertainty.
The second part contains a full year of tracking pages covering sleep, mood, triggers, appetite, social interaction, anger, communication, and spiritual practice. These trackers help readers identify patterns and develop self-awareness over time. The design is simple, flexible, and requires no external tools, making it usable in any correctional setting.
“Healing Inside” offers a structured method for noticing internal reactions so individuals can make calmer, more informed choices. It does not replace therapy but can support mental-health staff by providing a clearer view of daily experiences.
For educators, chaplains, mentors, and program coordinators, the workbook provides a consistent framework for routine-building and emotional understanding. For individuals, it offers a private space to reflect, track progress, and regain a sense of control.
“Healing Inside: PTSD Awareness Workbook for Incarcerated Individuals” is now available through Aurora International Publishing. More resources and upcoming releases can be found at Amazon https://a.co/d/2tUAEsr.
