Just the Two of Us: A Soft Place for Tender Hearts to Land

by Nicolle Nattrass CAC II

‘It is a beautiful resource, infused with so much heart.  I think it will serve as a life-line for many.“  Kate Burns MSW, RSW

“This is a beautiful and honouring – and authentic – resource.”  Marie Valenti

“Just the Two of Us is an incredible resource for parents and their children to spend quality time together working through difficult times in a carefree and creative way. I wish I would have had this when my daughter was young.   As a former pediatric nurse, I can see the value of this book to use with the kids I cared for in oncology to help them express feelings in a safe and heart-centred way, while having fun at the same time.  A must have to every parent and young child as they move through the tricky parts of childhood.”        Dori Howard, BScN, MA, PCC

“Her approach to creative journaling for children allows for an experiential therapeutic outlet for children and their caregivers and can be easily facilitated within the therapeutic setting. Her trauma-informed approach could be used for a broad range of children, youth and families.  This tool allows the individual to connect and process stress, anxiety, and trauma when feelings can be overwhelming and access to words are difficult. I use this resource to offer parents that unique connection to their child’s inner world so that healing is possible for everyone. Thank you Nicolle for mindfully bringing your body of work into this world. I will continue to use this timeless resource for many years to come.” 

Angela Slade, MA, RCC, CMHIMP

“As a  Registered Art Therapist  since 1994 I am delighted with the content of this journaling guide.  Creativity is within the heart of all of us and a healthy outlet. This guide offers an opportunity inviting families to use play and imagination to grow healthy attachments.  The art can offer a grounding place to express emotion and play. Witnessing each other and the story of the page grows connection, understanding and love. This book is a  wonderful gift that will  create lasting positive impact for participants.”
