Emotional Awareness Training - GAUTENG

In these challenging times, we’ve all faced varying degrees of trauma. This course empowers us to understand and recognize the factors that trigger trauma, enabling us to be sensitive to people’s perceptions and reactions in different settings like home, school, or work.

We’ll explore the brain’s inner workings in relation to trauma and learn how to reprogram it to positively impact our daily lives. By being trauma-informed, we acknowledge that those around us might have emotional or physical responses to their environment based on past experiences. Let’s foster understanding and create a supportive space together.
