Healing Our Heart: Resolving Trauma, Reclaiming Resiliency
7.5 CE Credits. When faced with trauma or life stressors, our soft, tender heart can get hurt and close itself to the beauty and love all around us. To manage this angst, we may binge-watch movies or doom-scroll on social media. But if we learn to fully open to our wounds, we can unearth the post-traumatic growth opportunities hidden within them. Using science-backed resiliency practices, we’ll learn to reconnect with our strength and aliveness and shift away from habitual fight, flight, freeze reactions.
