Living Well with Stress and Trauma: Embracing Connection, Love, and Purpose

Join 92NY's Spark Your Health for a soul-provoking discussion that will leave you feeling more in tune with yourself, and with a toolkit of ways to face everyday challenges without caving into stress.

We are living through multiple pandemics, including a mental health crisis of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and addiction, that cannot all be solved by medical professionals. How can we best approach this challenging era while supporting ourselves in being healthy and vibrant? Bestselling authors and thought leaders Gabor Maté, Dan Siegel, and Elissa Epel will come together to discuss new views of trauma, positive stress, overcoming difficult circumstances, and finding ourselves in an IntraConnected world. Learn how we can use these insights to fuel an awakening and evolution in human culture and consciousness, starting within ourselves.

The doctors will briefly summarize and discuss key tips from their new books, Dr. Maté’s The Myth of Normal, Dr. Siegel’s IntraConnected, and Dr. Epel’s The Stress Prescription and offer practical changes we can make in our everyday lives. Together, we can make a transformative pivot in how we live on this precious planet — through embracing positive stress, joy, connection, and living our purpose.

Thank you to our co-sponsor for this event, Compassionate Inquiry®. Compassionate Inquiry® is a psychotherapeutic approach created by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world. The practice of Compassionate Inquiry gently uncovers and releases the layers of childhood trauma, constriction and suppressed emotion embedded in the body, that are at the root of illness and addiction.

A graduate-level online year-long professional training in Compassionate Inquiry is available to health professionals, and a Self-Study Short Course has been designed for lay people. See http://www.compassionateinquiry.com for more information.
