Understanding Trauma’s Impacts: Why am I feeling this way?

Understanding Trauma’s Impacts: Why am I feeling this way? 

Virtual Program on Monday, October 30, 2023 

In this session, we will look at ways in which trauma activation and PTSD impact and interfere with everyday functioning. We will also explore important ways in which the unfolding events in Israel are different from the “standard” pattern of communal disasters, and therefore may evoke more complex responses within us and look at some techniques which might help moment to moment.
