"My Story, Organized" Worksheet

The “My Story, Organized” worksheet is a trauma-informed, structured tool designed to help you organize what happened without feeling pressured to explain it perfectly. It guides you through a simple timeline format so you can lay out key events, how they affected you, and what you need now—clearly and safely. This worksheet is especially helpful when your thoughts feel scattered, your emotions feel heavy, or you’re preparing to communicate your experience to someone else (like a support person, advocate, supervisor, or professional). It also includes a dedicated space for “what I’m not ready to talk about yet,” so you can stay in control of your story while still making progress.
