Healing Secondary Trauma
and
Compassion Fatigue.
Restoring Professional Resilience and Authenticity.
The Cost of Education
Shouldn’t be your well-being
Educators are trained to instruct and respond to the needs of their students. Rarely are educators trained to process the emotional impact of hearing about and witnessing the trauma expressed by their students daily. Over time, exposure to others’ trauma can lead to secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout – often without educators recognizing what is happening.
Have you considered how trauma exposure impacts your brain and body? Through Deb Alverson’s R,E,S.E.T. method, you will learn actionable strategies to build personal and systemic resilience.
My Services
Remember the last time you felt completely understood? That’s the moment I offer. I don’t preach from the mountaintop; I walk the valley with you, and together, we find the path up, transforming ‘I’m alone in this’ into ‘we’re in this together, and we got this.’
With decades of experience inside school systems and leadership involvement with the New York State School Counselor Association, Deb specializes in helping educators understand and address secondary traumatic stress (STS).
Through conferences, professional development events, and keynote speaking, participants will understand what secondary traumatic stress is (and what it is not); learn what repeated trauma exposure does to the brain; recognize early warning signs in themselves and colleagues; gain practical nervous system regulation tools; and leave with a framework for sustainable career longevity.
Do you want to heal from the inside out? Do you wonder, “What is wrong with me?” Are you an educator who hears about, listens to, and empathizes with students who share their traumatic experiences with you? Well, there is nothing wrong with you! You may be struggling with secondary traumatic stress or compassion fatigue. What are they, and what do I do about it, you may wonder? These courses turn the light on for educators, and bring the smile back to your face, and the renew your excitement to go to work the next day.
