Prolonged stress can hijack the brain’s emotional, memory, and decision-making abilities. Caring for others should never come at the cost of your own well-being.

How to protect your brain:
- Seek social support
- Limit distressing media
- Practice calming techniques (deep breathing, mindfulness)
- Spend time with people or pets
- Get sleep, movement, and nourishing food
- Seek professional help if symptoms persist

Stored experiences influence us.

Our brains store our past experiences. These memories craft our perceptions, attitudes, and expectations, which shape our responses to experiences in the present.

Trauma overwhelms and hinders our brain’s ability to process these memories.

Our brains become “stuck” in the emotions and sensations present at the time of the trauma and cause us to react based on past experiences more than present reality.

EMDR can help to reprocess these stuck memories. We can help you safely bring forward a traumatic memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, a movement that mimics REM sleep, which when the brain processes its memories. This practice helps the brain reprocess and integrate the memory in a more adaptive way.

Honoring the lives lost and heroes who bravely responded on that fateful day. 9/11 is a day America will never forget.

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day. There are many evidence-based strategies to help intervene and prevent su***de. We can make a difference in both our personal relationships, and in the community at large.

As an individual, don’t be afraid to ask and be curious about how others are feeling. Research shows that asking about su***de does not increase suicidal behavior or thoughts.
Be there for the person. Remove any access to lethal items and deter the person from dangerous places. Show you care for them, provide resources, follow up, and keep in touch.

Su***de is a serious public health problem that has long lasting effects on individuals, families, and communities.

As a collective, our organizations can work to strengthen economic support and access to help. Implement policies and cultural changes in workplaces and schools that promote well-being. Bring the community together to promote education and a sense of belonging.

Su***de is preventable.
You deserve to be here. You are loved.

Have you ever reacted to something in a way that surprised you?

Our bodies react to traumatic memories that the mind might forget. Through somatic therapy, we can help you bring these memories forward to begin the process of healing.

Take a moment to examine the way you place demands on yourself to feel a certain way. Are you “should-ing” yourself?

Deb Dana tells us these inner narratives are an invitation to explore and be curious, rather than criticize the feelings that naturally arise in us.

Mindfulness teaches us to notice and accept our feelings without judgment, including those stemming from trauma.

Instead of chasing happiness, mindfulness promotes a greater relationship with all of our emotions, both pleasant and unpleasant. When safely done, this practice fosters emotional resilience and helps us to better handle life’s challenges.

▫️Being a burden to others

Feeling:
▫️Empty, hopeless, trapped, or having no reason to live

Shame thrives secrecy, silence, and judgement. Shame cannot survive being spoken. - Brené Brown

Today we are defining and differentiating two symptoms of dissociation.

Derealization (detachment from the external world) and depersonalization (detachment from oneself) are common responses to trauma that can serve as a protective mechanism, but can also become a debilitating disorder.

The body was born with the innate ability to regulate and repair. Just like it knows how to sleep, sweat, and sneeze, it also knows how to heal.

Without this feature, our species would not have survived as long as it has. Our generative capabilities are what keeps us alive.

The body knows how to scab over a skinned knee. It knows how to repair bone after a fracture. And it also knows how to heal from trauma. The brain can heal, adapt, and even grow stronger in the aftermath of adversity.

Nature is not just a place to visit, it is home. Our natural world can help guide a grounding, embodied, and restorative path for trauma recovery.

Interacting with nature - noticing the leaves, hearing the sound of water, and smelling the scent of a forest can anchor us back into the present and interrupt patterns of disregulation.
