When a natural disaster occurs, it traumatizes not only the people who directly experienced the event, but also first responders, everyone who pitches in to help, and even the whole community. Traumatic shock triggers the nervous system’s fight/flight/freeze reflex causing exaggerated, irrational emotional (and physical) reactions, and inhibits the ability to think rationally and be resourceful. Even worse, anything that was in the environment at the time the trauma occurred can get associated with that memory. Later on, these associations can trigger this original reflex reaction, (like a body flashback). Untreated, cumulative trauma can cause burn out and even PTSD symptoms.
Join us for this community healing webinar and clear Hurricane Helene trauma together. Participants will learn the Natural Bio-Destressing meridian tapping technique for activating your body’s natural calming reflex and releasing traumatic reactions. Daily use of this technique will result in increased resilience, optimism, and sense of well-being.
LCCNC supports the people of Western North Carolina affected by Hurricane Helene. In an effort to mobilize a response and equipping those clinicians serving that region, we are offering a free disaster response webinar. We care deeply about the mental health and well-being of the families, friends, and communities impacted by this disaster and want to offer our support as an Association.
