Community Healing & Support Gathering — Working With Difficult Emotions

Download Training Details + Share 🤍

Communities across the country are navigating waves of crisis and uncertainty.

This ongoing stress is affecting families, workplaces, and communities. Many of us are experiencing sustained trauma responses and the exhaustion that comes from one incident after another without relief. Whether you're a helping professional trying to show up for others while managing your own distress, or a community member seeking concrete tools to stay grounded, you're not alone in feeling dysregulated and uncertain about what to do next.

In response to immediate needs voiced by therapists, healers, and community members, this is 1 of 2 crisis response support sessions. These are designed for moments when we need directives more than processing, and containers more than conversation.

These are peer-led gatherings that provide practical tools for nervous system regulation during ongoing stress. We'll explore frameworks for identifying clear pathways for showing up in collective response without burning out.

These Are Not Normal Times:

Do you feel like you have hit a wall? Are your usual ways of coping unavailable or just not working so well anymore?

Objectives:

  • Understand the impact of current crises as traumas to the nervous system

  • Learn ways to reduce the impact of these traumas, including brief resilience practices
