Finding Your Way: A Field Guide for Critical Events

Training Program

As long as there have been humans and tragedy there has been the need for the timely provision of comfort, care, and support to people who experience critical events, like disaster, civil conflict, flood, fire or pandemic.

All critical events have a pattern. There is a pattern to how we respond to those events.

The Field Guide offers information first to help you identify these patterns and then to support you in listening and speaking to others.

Finding Your Way offers the reader a special gift.

It provides a clear path forward as we make our way through difficult and challenging times in our lives. We learn to trust ourselves and our innate capacity to heal. We also learn about the importance of extending care and compassion to those around us. A special gift indeed.

Kudos.

In my work helping people navigate difficult times I’ve become aware that what often makes it more difficult Is that people do not have a mind-map of the strange territory they are moving through. In this master work we have the guide that will provide a road map through delicate and treacherous terrain. Readers will be able to see their current situation as a process they can move through. Seeing a horizon and knowing where you are can alleviate a great deal of the trauma that goes with the territory of the collapse we are in.

Patterns provide the connection.

As all of us have experienced loss and trauma of varying degrees , I did reflect on the Sat Nav GPS signposts that I have experienced.  This resonates with a personal recovery journey supporting hope and understanding of process and pattern. I am grateful that you and others of like mind continue to give to the world, modeling the kindness and openness to engage and share wisdom.  We need to be informed that we do relate to each other more than we realize.
