Managing collective trauma, anxiety, and high-stress situations can be uniquely challenging. However, you're not alone, and there are valuable tools and resources available.
When we focus our minds on the present moment, we are aware of our thoughts, feelings and actions, without attaching judgment to them. It can help us to embrace reality and the present moment, instead of jumping to the past or to the future.
Understand the effects of too little sleep and learn how to get a good nights sleep.
Stress is the body's response to environmental demands. In general, when environmental demands exceed your ability to cope, it creates stress.
Vicarious trauma is the natural effect of exposure to the details of traumatic experiences of others and the stress resulting from helping or wanting to help a struggling person.
