[WORKSHOP] Stress: Our Brain's Reaction + What to Do About It
[WORKSHOP] Stress: Our Brain's Reaction + What to Do About It
Our training will offer an overall understanding about how the brain works when under stress, its impact on mind health, and tips/ tools that you can start implementing and using today to combat stress responses that lead to burnout. Having accessible knowledge about stress, trauma and resiliency supports individuals in cultivating self-awareness, building their understanding of trauma and stress responses, and integrating new practices that are healthy and sustainable.
Boost Consulting is inspired by Dr. Sandra L. Bloom’s research in developing trauma-informed spaces and organizations, and Dr. Dan Siegel’s work on interpersonal neurobiology, trauma, and mindfulness. Both these models guide our work around stress and the brain. Trauma-informed care is a framework that can help support healthcare workers, educators, entrepreneurs, and parents by building their knowledge about how to self-regulate, honor a client’s/service recipient’s experience, foster safe spaces for open/honest communication, and instill within them supportive and accessible knowledge to combat their own burnout and compassion fatigue.
