Coaching LA Wildfires: Emotional Recovery for Crisis Response
Phase II: Strengthen – Emotional Recovery Strategies
Taking a trauma-informed nonclinical coaching approach to Emotional Recovery for Crisis Response.
Psychological theory informs us that there are global symptoms commonly experienced when responding to a crisis event that can naturally dissipate over time, however with prolonged and repeated exposure to ongoing trauma stimuli and crisis response these symptoms don’t always naturally dissipate. We can feel “stuck” navigating the recovery process.
In Phase II we take an in-depth look at effective coping strategies, exploring secondary trauma, survivors guilt, and how we make sence of and attach meaning to our experience impacts our emotional recovery process.
Clear and Strategic Steps to Mitigate the Negative Impact of Crisis Response
12 Week Group Coaching Program: Cognitive Approach to Emotional Recovery
How you interpret your experiences, make sense and attach meaning to them, significantly impacts your emotional and physical recovery to trauma. We often don’t consider how much our thoughts impact our feelings and decision making process as they seem to happen instantly. In this program we will explore how your cognitive processes, physiological responses, belief system or world view, use of language (global statements: always, all, everyone, never) and communication style impact your recovery process and global wellness. In Phase II we take a pragmatic proactive approach, “an ounce of prevention” toward your emotional recovery.
***Delivered to first responders in three different cohorts differentiating rank into separate groups to allow for open dialogue among peers facing similar challenges while providing appropriate leadership support for all categories of their assignments.
