The "resource-oriented narrative trauma therapy with children and adolescents with complex trauma disorders" (ResonaT) is a gentle form of trauma processing through animal stories. In her understanding of therapy, she refers to Klaus Grawe's active factor model and the neurobiological self-healing process of memory reconsolidation. Regina Hiller and Thomas Hensel combine a compact presentation of existing narrative approaches and a theoretical foundation of the ResonaT method with a collection of a total of 90 example narratives for different topics and situations. This selection of pre-formulated animal stories enables the therapist to work with the approach in daily practice without much additional writing effort.
