Understanding Grief, Anxiety and Your Brain! During this hour-long presentation, the Rev. Dr. Shawn Stapleton will share the ways in which our brains cope with loss and trauma, and introduce strategies that help alleviate these conditions. Based on research presented by such authors as Mary-Frances O'Connor ("The Grieving Brain") and Bessel van der Kolk ("The Body Keeps the Score"), this information will help those struggling with grief, anxiety, and other emotionally paralyzing conditions better understand why they feel the way they feel, and how to cope when strong emotions strike.
There will be a question and answer session after the presentation. Beverages and light refreshments will be served. Everyone in the community is invited to attend, so stop by and bring a friend!
