Connection is key – the power of community
When we think of PTSD, we might envision a person hunched over, sitting alone in a dark room. Operational stress injuries can indeed be isolating when we bear the burden alone.
Only through connection with an understanding community, can we melt away the shame that keeps us immobilized.
If you have been following our social media, you’ll have seen many photos of people in active recovery. They’re full of smiles and are clearly in good company. That’s not by chance. They know something important.
They know that working in groups speeds up recovery and allows us to go further. Significant forward momentum requires knowledge, support, and community.
By working together, we will all go further. Look for the smiles…you’ll know where to find us. Trauma recovery might not look the way you imagined.
We’re loading up programs for the new year, connect soon to save your seat.
Warmly,
Belinda Seagram, Ph.D., R. Psych.
