Trauma doesn’t have to control the rest of your story.

In Talk About It! Healing the Trauma Your Past Left Behind, I challenge the idea that healing has to feel like an endless process. One of the biggest barriers is often the fear of talking about what happened. But talking about it is not the same as reliving it.

It’s time to disarm the fear so you can begin disarming the trauma.

What if the biggest bully in a child’s life isn’t on the playground?

What if it’s the voice inside their own mind telling them they’re not good enough, not smart enough, or that nobody cares?

That’s why I wrote The Bully in Your Brain.

This is more than a children’s book. It’s a conversation starter. A teaching tool. A resource that helps children recognize unhealthy thoughts and replace them with truth before those lies take root.

Imagine if children learned this while they were still young.

If you’re a parent, teacher, principal, school counselor, librarian, children’s pastor, or work with kids in any capacity, this book was written with you in mind.

We’re now accepting pre-orders at TrueStoryPublisher.com.

Let’s give children more than another story. Let’s give them tools they’ll carry for a lifetime.

🧠 **Did you know that sometimes we all have what I call a Bully in Your Brain?**

This little bully shows up now and then, trying to tell you lies that make you feel small, scared, or ashamed.

But I have great news for you.

Meet **Sweet Little Truth**—a friend who comes in like the wind to push those lies away.

As children read *The Bully in Your Brain*, some of the lies may feel familiar. That’s because we all have thoughts like these from time to time.

The goal is to help children recognize those lies, talk about them, and build truths that chase them away.

📖 **THIS BOOK HELPS CHILDREN**

Notice lies in their thoughts and learn to replace them with truth.

🏠 **USE IT ANYWHERE**

At home, in the classroom, during counseling sessions, or in small groups.

💬 **PAUSE & TALK**

After each lie, ask:

“What is this lie saying?”

“Have you heard it before?”

“What would Sweet Little Truth say instead?”

🗣️ **SAY THE TRUTH OUT LOUD**

When Sweet Little Truth speaks, pause and encourage the child to say the truth out loud. Repeat it together if helpful.

⭐ **LIE #5: THE KEY MOMENT**

When the story reaches Lie #5, stop and ask:

“What is that lie for you?”

“What does your bully say in your head?”

Give the child space to name it. This is one of the most important moments in the book.

🔁 **READ IT AGAIN**

Revisit the story as needed. Each reading can help children build greater awareness, confidence, and a stronger habit of answering lies with truth.
