Why a Life Timeline Matters: A Gentle Guide
A trauma-informed resource to help you make sense of your story—at your own pace.
As a therapist, the Life Timeline is one of the most powerful tools I use with clients. It supports healing, clarity, and self-compassion by offering a structured yet gentle way to reflect on your past and reclaim your narrative.
After witnessing how transformative this process has been for so many of the people I work with, I’ve created this downloadable version so that you can now access it on your own, whether or not you're currently in therapy.
What You’ll Get:
✔️ A guided introduction that explains the importance of timeline work from a trauma-informed perspective
✔️ A filled example to spark ideas and reduce overwhelm
✔️ A blank timeline template to make it your own
✔️ Reflective prompts that help you move at your own pace, with compassion
Why It Matters:
Trauma, transitions, and life’s upheavals can fragment our sense of self. Creating a life timeline helps bring coherence to our lived experiences—something Dr. Dan Siegel calls a key component of emotional well-being. It’s not about reliving the past, but gently witnessing it, organizing it, and offering it care.
This tool is ideal if you're:
In a season of self-reflection or transition
Exploring your healing journey independently or in therapy
Wanting to connect the dots between past experiences and current patterns
Craving clarity, empowerment, and emotional regulation
