Recently we were connected – through the Pa. Attorney General’s office – to a SERG grant program where the leadership there requested that we conduct regional trauma conferences in specified communities. Our staff had been working with varied representatives in these communities to develop a meaningful two-day conference featuring a variety of contextual trauma trainings […]
Reenactment as a Response to Trauma
Have you ever known someone who seems to repeat the same relational mistakes over and over, even though it seems clear that he or she should have learned from previous painful results of these relationships?
