Understand
Mind & Body
When you experience trauma, you undergo specific biological changes in both your brain and physical body.
What To Do
Journal
Expressing emotions on paper makes them workable and allows you to write exactly what you are feeling.
What To Do
Exercise
Exercise releases endorphins in your body that help regulate emotions.
About
Everyone has a story. Each person you meet, pass on the street, or already know, has a story to tell. When it comes to trauma in particular, no two stories are alike, which is exactly why Grief and Growth was created.
What To Do
Reach Out
Being able to rely on others and lean on them in your time of need will help you regain strength.
Understand
Coping & Resilience
Every person experiences the aftermath of trauma in their own way. Resilience is the capacity of humans to withstand traumatic and stressful experiences.
What To Do
Eat Healthy
Eating the right foods can actually counteract cortisol production, in turn relieving stress.
