Powerless to Empowered – Trauma Informed Self Defense for SurvivorsDid you know April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month? Its the perfect time to learn how to protect yourself! Join us in this workshop which provides a safe environment for survivors of trauma to express and process difficult emotions that are experienced during their recovery. Attendees can listen to discussion topics that explore how our brain controls our response during an undesirable or unexpected situation, how we recover from a traumatic experience, and why others play a critical role in the recovery process. We will also look at the benefits of responsive self-defense training; for those that have been through a traumatic experience prior to training. Attendees will practice basic striking on soft targets to feel the benefits of stress release and trauma release, which often occur during responsive self-defense training. Attendees will be able to present “what if” scenarios that concern them and learn options for defending against or escaping from the scenario. The purpose of the workshop is to rebuild self-esteem and boost confidence, by empowering attendees with the life skill of self-defense. Presented by Lindsey of Strictly Self Defense
