Morning Session
Soul Injury: Liberating Unmourned Loss & Unforgiven Guilt
The mental and emotional injuries that accompany trauma are readily identified. Less recognized are the insidious wounds that occur with trauma and whenever we become separated from our personhood. The work of soul restoration includes learning how to re-own and re-home scattered pieces of self by cultivating personal intimacy with the part of the self carrying our emotional pain.

Afternoon Session
PTSD: A Different Brain after Acute Trauma and Chronic Stress
Research now shows that PTSD is in the head the traumatized brain is remarkably different than it was prior to the trauma. Attention, perception, and memory are radically altered in the fear-based brain. This presentation will provide you with a newer, keener insight into the aftermath of trauma.
