response back to the child, and then Write Down the answer in the narrative
When creating the trauma narrative with the child, the clinician should:
Be listening for examples of distorted, unhelpful thoughts in the child's account of what
happened
Consistently remain quiet to allow the child to process the information on his/her own
Focus on the child's feelings without talking about specific aspects of the trauma

One of the main goals of eliciting thoughts and feelings when creating the narrative is to identify
unhelpful and inaccurate thoughts that produce symptoms of PTSD and/or depression.
Which statement about developmental expectations for the creation of the trauma narrative is
correct?
Because specific, detailed information is essential for gradual exposure to work, the level of
detail provided in the description of traumatic events should be basically the same for all ages.
Therapists should encourage older clients to make more use of trauma narratives that are in the
format of a book (as opposed to a poem, song, or other medium).
The ability to create detailed narratives can vary considerably across school-aged kids.
Because younger children are more familiar with "make believe" stories, therapists can
incorporate imaginary characters and events into trauma narratives among this group.
- Correct Answer :The ability to create detailed narratives can vary considerably across school-
aged kids.
Child distress is actually a reason to complete a trauma narrative, not to avoid it. Repeated
exposure to trauma-related memories will help the child learn to manage trauma-related
distress.
When a child has more than one type of traumatic event (e.g., sexual abuse and physical abuse),
to avoid overwhelming the child it is recommended to do the trauma narrative on only one of
these events.

Trauma narratives for youth with multiple trauma exposures should include elements from all
the traumas that most significantly contribute to children's symptom presentation (i.e., intrusive
thoughts, avoidance).
Which of the following is NOT a therapeutic purpose of creating a Trauma Narrative?
Helping to minimize intrusive and upsetting trauma-related imagery
Helping to reduce avoidance of cues, situations, and feelings associated with trauma exposure
Identifying helpful and unhelpful cognitions about traumatic events
Learning which people, places, or situations to avoid so that trauma reactions won't be triggered
Gain a sense of mastery over traumatic memories.
- Correct Answer :Learning which people, places, or situations to avoid so that trauma reactions
won't be triggered
Avoidance of trauma reminders is not a goal of TF-CBT; all the other options are key reasons for
engaging in trauma narrative development
LaQuan is a 16 year old young woman referred to you by child welfare due to a long history of
physical abuse and one incident of sexual abuse by caregivers and others. Your trauma
assessment indicated that LaQuan also had been bullied at school and hit, punched and sexually
touched by peers. She also had witnessed many incidents of violence in the home between her
mother and her mother's boyfriend; she has lived her whole life in a neighborhood that often

has violent incidents that frightened her. She described significant levels of fear and distress for
nearly all of these incidents she had experienced. Which of these traumatic events should be
included in her Trauma Narrative?
All of them since all the traumatic events are producing some level of trauma symptoms.
Determine which events are associated with the most symptoms and distress and focus on
those.
Focus on the sexual abuse since it is almost always the mos
- Correct Answer :Determine which events are associated with the most symptoms and distress
and focus on those.
It is often surprising to us which events that children have experienced are associated with the
greatest amount of distress. As you make a plan for trauma narration, focus on those events that
are the most responsible for producing symptoms.
What should a therapist do when a child begins to feel distressed while constructing the Trauma
Narrative and wants to stop?
Bring the parent in to the session to comfort and support the child.
Stop working on the narrative for the day and pick up again in the next session
Pause; remind the child that their distress is a normal reaction, but that it will get better;
encourage the use of stress management skills they have already learned; then resume narrative
development.
Bring in a therapy animal to help the child reduce their distress and continue to work on the
narrative.
Pause; explain to the child that doing this is necessary for them to get better; help them identify
their feelings and thoughts; explain how they are connected; and then resume the narrative.
- Correct Answer :Pause; remind the child that their distress is a normal reaction, but that it will
get better; encourage the use of stress management skills they have already learned; then
resume narrative development.
