Description 
We all experience trauma. It comes early if we’ve been abused or neglected as children or arrive in the world facing the challenges of poverty and discrimination. It may come later as we deal with the pain of broken relationships, overwhelming job stress, sexual harassment, the dangers of combat, or a life-threatening or serious illness. If we live long enough, we will contend with the loss of loved ones, physical frailty, and our own impending death. Trauma is not apart from life, it is an integral part of it. 
 
James S. Gordon, MD, a world-recognized authority on depression and anxiety, as well as post-traumatic stress, and an acclaimed mind-body medicine pioneer, offers a comprehensive, evidence-based program for reversing the biological and psychological damage that trauma does, and for learning from and growing through its challenges to become who we’re meant to be. 

Learning Objectives 

• Identify the physiological correlates of psychological trauma and the ways mind-body skills address them. 
• Discuss the research on the effectiveness of mind-body skills in relieving the symptoms of psychological trauma. 
• Demonstrate the use of mind-body skills for self-care.

A long time researcher at the National Institute of Mental Health and a Clinical Professor at Georgetown Medical School, he was chairman (under Presidents Clinton and GW Bush) of the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy. As Founder and Executive Director of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, D.C., Dr. Gordon, a psychiatrist, has created and implemented the world’s largest and most effective program for healing population-wide psychological trauma and dealing with chronic stress. He and his 140 international faculty have brought this evidence-based program of self-care and group support to more than 6,000 health professionals and the institutions in which they work, including VISN-8, the largest division of the US Veteran’s Administration and Eskenazi Health, Indiana’s premier safety-net system, as well as to communities in the US and overseas that have been devastated by war, climate-related disaster, the opioid epidemic, school shootings, and historical trauma.
