"If you’ve experienced trauma, you may be struggling with upsetting emotions, frightening memories, or a sense of constant danger. Or you may feel numb, disconnected, and unable to trust other people. When bad things happen, it can take a while to get over the pain and feel safe again." - From "Emotional and Psychological Trauma" helpguide.org, Authors: Lawrence Robinson, Melinda Smith, M.A., and Jeanne Segal, Ph.D. Last updated: October 2016.
This weekly chat is for anyone who has experienced a a trauma at any point in their lives and is struggling with getting over it. It will include articles and information and discussion, as well as time pre and post chat to check in and talk more informally and get to know each other better. Pre-chat will begin at 6:40 MST The first week will be a more informal, getting to know you time, as well as an outline of what will happen during the regular chat. If there is time, we can take a look at the article I have found for discussion the second week (see below for link) On Monday, October 31st (EEK!) we will go over and discuss the first part of the following article (which is quoted in the introduction to this post) up to, but not including "Trauma recovery tip 1: Get moving" Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Learning to Heal from Recent or Childhood Trauma and Move on with Your Life Welcome! |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
