Led by an expert trainer in emotional well-being and trauma-informed responses, this session explores the remarkable 24/7 survival system inherent in each of us. Consider our responses to real and perceived threats that leave our bodies in a constant state of battle readiness, leading to stress and anxiety. We address this physical and emotional chain reaction triggered by hormones and activated by our interpretation of thoughts, potentially leaving us as emotional and physical Jenga towers, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Participants will also acquire a variety of CBT tools and strategies to alleviate moments of overwhelm, stress, and negative thoughts, such that they can more quickly return to a neutral and calmer state, even when confronting challenging situations.
* Please note- this session is suitable for ages 16+*
