TS-12 Anon: A Trauma-Sensitive 12-Step Program for Survivors of Relational Trauma

If you've experienced the heartbreak of another's abuse, addiction, adultery, or abandonment, you know how overwhelming and isolating the aftermath can feel. TS-12 Anon (Trauma-Sensitive 12-Steps Anonymous) was created as a compassionate, inclusive guide for survivors-one that honors the depth of trauma while offering tools for hope, healing, and growth.

Rooted in the spirit of the Twelve Steps yet reimagined through a trauma-sensitive and prodependent lens, TS-12 Anon provides a safe, gentle path forward. It affirms worth, encourages self-compassion, validates experiences, and helps reclaim peace at a pace that feels right for each individual.

This book is used in the TS-12 Anon meetings and we invite you to find a free meeting to attend on our website.

This Third Printing (2025) has been thoughtfully revised to create greater inclusivity in both concept and language, welcoming individuals of all beliefs and backgrounds. Whether people connect with God, another form of Higher Power, or are still finding their way spiritually: Trauma Survivors Belong Here.

With honesty, compassion, and care, TS-12 Anon invites you to step into a community of understanding, where healing becomes not just possible-but real.
