Research shows 70% of us will experience trauma at least once in our lives, but many won’t seek therapy to work through it. Whether it’s because therapy doesn’t feel right for you, it’s not accessible, or you want to supplement it with additional strategies, there are many ways to recover from a traumatic experience.

From drum circles to spending time in nature, research shows you don't have to talk about trauma to heal from it. There are practical and effective ways to help you regulate your emotions, calm your nervous system, and work through the pain in your own way. Some of the things I discuss today are:

Why traditional talk therapy isn’t the only path to healing (and sometimes, not the best one).
How drumming or theater can help release buried emotions.
The surprising ways caring for animals or gardening can soothe your nervous system and promote healing.
The specific physical activities that release trauma.
The creative outlets that can open up paths to recovery.
