RETREATS

These retreats offer the opportunity to develop and practice strategies for addressing the root causes of internal stress. We will also explore how our view of ourselves and our lives influences our daily experience and how to design an outlook that promotes healing and wellness. Finally, we will practice strategies that promote healthy and strong bonds within our work community.

The Root Cause of Stress and Anxiety

This training discusses strategies for addressing the root cause of stress and anxiety. Humans have a long history of survival and adaptation. That ability remains with us at all times. We are carrying a lot of hurt and pain not just from our lives and experiences but from the pain and struggle of our ancestors as well in the form of historical trauma. This training explores strategies we can use to address and reduce our internal stress levels.

The Positive Outlook

Many studies promote the link between positivity and joy with improved health. This training is focused on creating and maintaining a positive outlook as a tool for improving our individual health and the health of our communities. A positive outlook offers us the opportunity to strengthen our resilience to manage both internal and external sources of stress and anxiety.

The Community of Support 

This training also discusses strategies for strengthening the bonds with other work community members. From time to time there is a need to address heightened emotional experiences while at work. During these times it is useful to request support from our work community. This training offers a set of skills for promoting a healthy work community and offering support to those in need. The desired result is that participants feel empowered to assist work community members while maintaining healthy boundaries.

The IV Methods go beyond conventional discussions of “trauma-informed care” to offer a more comprehensive method that allows participants the opportunity to heal from their personal experiences of historical and current traumas, while engaging in daily activities such as work and social engagements required for thriving in our society. We welcome the opportunity to create an offering tailored to your organizations needs!
