Course description
We live in unpredictable, even traumatic times. And while we worry about post-traumatic stress from life’s challenges, research finds the more likely outcome is post-traumatic growth: Greater insight, awareness, and resilience. This course is inspired by neuroscience, positive psychology and more. It integrates mindfulness, self-compassion, and other powerful practices to help clients emerge from adversity stronger and more empowered than ever. You'll complete the course with more than a dozen techniques you can implement immediately.
1.5 Hours CE. Recorded Video Format (non-interactive)
