Building Resilience – Resisting Trauma

Trauma can happen slowly. Or suddenly, in seconds. But its effects can last much longer. Whether it's a natural disaster, a work-related incident, physical or emotional upsets, or any number of workplace woes we find overwhelming, trauma can play havoc with our nervous system, make life hard-going and hamper our ability to function at home or at work. It impacts how we behave, get along with others, how safe we feel and of course it can affect how well we cope and continue to perform our jobs.

Resilience and trauma are two sides of the same coin. Building resilience is a key trauma-resistance strategy. Resilience acts as a stress-buffer. Knowing about the link between trauma and resilience enables you to understand what goes on in potentially traumatic situations and how we typically react that can become a first line of defence and self-help. 

All of us can benefit learning a few Trauma Resistance First-Aid Strategies so you spend more time in your Resilience Zone and less time out of it in trauma...

Read more on Building Resilience and Resisting Trauma at Work

Trauma's an intense, seemingly uncontrollable, set of acute stress-reactions to single or serial events that are distressing, disturbing and unexpected.

It’s biologically-based self-survival impulses that are automatic – the natural protective response of our nervous system to threat and hazard – physical, mental or emotional. Trauma gets our bodily alarms going, and it can keep them going long after an actual event has passed.

Resilience Based Trauma Training can benefit anyone who wants to pick up basic self-help practices to support themselves or help colleagues to handle trauma - whether  it's  incident, accident, or work-based, direct or indirect.

This clinic is also for those who play a part in trauma support or want to lift their ability to be of more potential help - line managers, supervisors, OHS or /HR co-ordinators and peer supporters. What you’ll learn includes:

·        Resilience and Trauma at Work

·        Trauma triggers, types, events and 'at-risk' factors

·        Bodily alarms and nervous system overload

·        Using the Resilience-Zone tool to self-monitor

·        Using the Resilience-Tester tool to track yourself

·        Trauma-Mapping: how brain, body & emotions react

·        Trauma-Tracker self-check: tell-tale signs & symptoms

·        Trauma first-aid – 5 self-help Resistance Strategies

·        Trauma toxins, stress and emotional re-balancing

·        5 Resilience-Builders – trauma buffers and preventers

·        Preparing a Trauma Resistance Action Plan

Clinic comes with a Leader's Trauma Support Guide & Self-Help Toolkit.

You also get a chance to purchase copies of our Trauma First-Aid Pocket Guide on handling trauma and building resilience, for your staff back at work

No psychology or role plays… Just real tools to test out for yourself!

Please Note - this first-aid, self-help clinic for trauma-support is not to be mistaken for clinical, procedural or therapy-based trauma-care - which are beyond its scope. It's also not to be seen as a substitute for proper professional trauma-counselling and support.
