Coping with Trauma

Thursday, August 7 6:00pm
Scottdale Public Library
Ages 18 and up!

Trauma—a journey that touches some of the deepest parts of our human story. Trauma’s effects extend far beyond a single event, shaping our thoughts, emotions, and daily lives in ways both visible and subtle. Today, we acknowledge not only the pain that trauma can create but also the resilience that every one of us holds within.

In this presentation with Andrew King LPC, MA, NCC, we will explore the multifaceted nature of trauma. We’ll examine how traumatic experiences imprint on the mind and body, often influencing our behavior and sense of self. Our focus will be on understanding these impacts from both a biological and emotional standpoint, while also highlighting strategies that have helped many reclaim their sense of safety and empowerment. Here, we recognize that healing is a profoundly personal journey—one that may not follow a straight path but is nonetheless filled with hope and the promise of recovery.

Throughout our discussion, we will dive into practical tools—from mindfulness practices and self-compassion techniques to seeking professional guidance and building supportive communities. Whether you are seeking to understand your own experiences or hoping to support a loved one, this conversation is designed to provide meaningful insights and actionable steps toward healing.
