One in 11 people will be diagnosed with PTSD in their lifetime - it affects approximately 3.5% of U.S. adults every year. PTSD can occur in anyone of any age, ethnicity, nationality, or culture. The lifetime prevalence in adolescents (aged 13 -18) is 8%, and women are twice as likely than men to have PTSD.
PTSD may occur in people who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, series of distressing circumstances, including natural disasters, serious accidents, terrorist acts, rape/sexual assault, historical trauma/war, intimate partner violence and bullying. A person may experience this as emotionally or physically harmful or life-threatening, and this could affect the person’s mental, physical, social, and/or spiritual well-being.
Unfortunately, long after the traumatic event has ended, people with PTSD may continue to have intense, disturbing thoughts, and feelings related to their experience.
This workshop aims to provide an in-depth understanding about PTSD including current treatments and updated research studies on the condition, as well as introducing participants to a meditation method focused on cleansing stressed mind to help relieve the PTSD symptoms.
As an adult participant in the Kids Meditation, it is inspiring to see how quickly the young people pick up on this method; and encouraging to see all the families meditating together on Zoom! There is nothing else like this out there!
Within 2-3 sessions using this meditation method, my physical anxiety dissolved, my mood started to elevate, I started to be more focused and productive. It's been several months since then, and I am so much more comfortable in my own skin, people in my life notice a difference and it has become part of my daily activity.
This excercise will get rid of my migraines.
Very powerful.
This is so powerful, feeling free.
I already forgot about all those thoughts!
