When recovering from trauma we need lots of different resources to help us cope with the symptoms, which can be sudden and feel overwhelming, and learn how to recognise and manage them. There are many useful videos and tutorials from experts, researchers and teachers available online. Mindfulness and EFT (emotional freedom technique) are two strategies that many people find effective and quite easy to learn. I’ve added links to some articles and videos that I hope are useful here:
