When Trauma Shows Up - First Tuesdays with HEART

Trauma reminders can appear unexpectedly in everyday life—through thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, commemorations, media coverage, or new incidents of violence. This presentation and conversation with Dr. Alyssa Rheingold (clinical psychologist, professor, and Associate Director at the National Crime Victims Research & Treatment Center at the Medical University of South Carolina) helps survivors recognize trauma cues that may affect daily functioning and explores common emotional/physical/behavioral reactions. Practical coping strategies, approaches that have helped survivors manage trauma reminders, and personalized plans for navigating future trauma cues are discussed. The First Tuesdays with HEART companion support group (Continuing the Conversation with HEART) delves deeper into the concepts introduced by our monthly guest speakers.
