Training Overview
As a human being living in a world of constant change, we are being asked to face and wrestle with multiple layers of grief and trauma: our own, our communities, our country, and the world. During times of uncertainty and change, many people experience heightened anxiety. Additionally, working with individuals impacted by traumatic events (homicide, domestic violence, child abuse, etc) increases exposure to grief and trauma and can result in feelings of overwhelm and burnout. Understanding how the brain and body are impacted by the cumulative events equips us to better understand our response and utilize tools to mitigate longer-term impacts.
This webinar will explore the body’s and brain’s response to uncertainty through a trauma lens and provide skills and strategies that can be utilized immediately to help sustain oneself in the work.
Learning Objectives
- to identify the body’s response to uncertainty and trauma exposure
- to identify three strategies to tend to the body’s physical response to trauma exposure
