How to Cope After a Disaster: Free Seminar from Spirence

When disaster strikes, the damage isn’t just physical—it affects our minds, our bodies, and our sense of safety. Whether you’ve been directly impacted by the recent flooding in Texas or you’re supporting loved ones, the emotional weight can be heavy and hard to carry.
That’s why we’re offering a free public seminar to help individuals and communities navigate the emotional toll of natural disasters.
The Weight We Carry
Tools for Trauma and Recovery
Natural disasters leave more than property damage in their wake. They disrupt our routines, heighten our stress, and can trigger or worsen mental health struggles. Even if you weren’t in the flood zone, witnessing the devastation—especially when it affects people you know—can lead to what’s known as vicarious trauma.
In this live seminar, licensed clinician Lori Lauridsen (MA, LMHC, MCAP, CYT) will guide participants through:
- Understanding the nervous system’s response to trauma
- Recognizing symptoms of stress, grief, and emotional overload
- Learning simple techniques for emotional regulation, including:
- Deep breathing
- Gentle movement
- Tapping and grounding exercises
Whether you’re overwhelmed, feeling numb, or struggling to support others—this session offers accessible tools to help you reconnect and regain control.
This seminar is free and open to the public. You don’t need to sign up, and you don’t have to go through it alone.
