Sometimes, the effects are not immediately obvious, but they can show up through anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, difficulty sleeping, feeling disconnected, or constantly being on high alert.During this workshop, we will explore the different types of trauma, understand how the brain and nervous system respond to traumatic experiences, and discuss practical tools and techniques that can help support emotional wellbeing and recovery.
