OCT 27: Dr. Rochelle Calvert – Healing with Nature
Mindfulness and Somatic Practices to Heal from Trauma
According to WHO, over 70% of us experience trauma; and 78% of those who’ve had a traumatic experience will develop post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition, the average American spends 87% of their time indoors. It’s no wonder many of us spend most of our days with shoulders hunched around our ears.
Psychologist Dr. Rochelle Calvert shares how somatic healing, combined with mindfulness, and nature-based therapy, can help heal trauma and PTSD.
