#Boundaries remind us that sometimes we must say "no" to others in order to say "yes" to ourselves. Boundaries are particularly important for survivors of trauma related to domestic violence and sexual assault. #SafeAllianceCLT#mondayreminders#selfcare
Conversations about topics like #domesticviolence and #sexualassault can be difficult. If your loved one is a survivor, listen, be present, be compassionate, and be patient.
Experiencing #trauma can cause part of the brain to go into hyperdrive & we perceive threats in non-threatening situations. Our body + brain often respond in certain common ways. The most commonly recognized #trauma responses are fight, #flight, #freeze, & #fawn. #SAAM#SAAM2022
Happy Mental Illness Awareness Week ❕ Some strategies are provided here from Edutopia to help upper elementary and middle school kids who have experienced trauma understand and control their emotions.💙
Our CKH skill of the month is Empathy!
Empathy is the ability to be aware of, understand, and be sensitive to another person’s feelings. Instead of focusing on how these feelings impact ourselves, empathy motivates us to focus on others and respond with care and compassion.
