  • June Workshop: Chasing Chaos: The Link Between Childhood Trauma + Nursing

    When you spend your childhood in survival mode you seek what you know in an effort to feel safe. And so began your career in nursing.

    Do you enjoy working in (insert your specialty here) or is your nervous system conditioned to feel calm only when surrounded by chaos?

    Familiar = Safe. This occurs at the subconscious (below your level of awareness) and is no fault of your own.

    Inside this safety lives your conditioned mind patterns.

    And inside these mind patterns are your limiting beliefs.

    (( A limiting belief is a a thought or state of mind you believe is an absolute truth that stops you from doing things ))

    Mind patterns become actions in the next endeavor. And the next. They keep following us.

    Until we are have the courage to ask,

    What are you here to teach?

    58% of our clients note childhood trauma in their intake form without prompt.

    There is an undeniable link between childhood trauma and the choice to enter the nursing profession, more specifically acute care specialties.

    The title of this workshop, most likely caught your attention because you are seeking something. Clarity, comfort, validation - some form of healing.

    Healing is your willingness to be vulnerable in a seeking state.

    Join Tara Kosmas, founding Executive Director of Debriefing the Front Lines + pediatric burn survivor, on June 18th for the virtual 1.75 CE Workshop, Chasing Chaos: The Link Between Childhood Trauma + Nursing, as we reflect on what, at the core of your being, you are seeking.

    🤎 We recognize you may be simultaneously intrigued and hesitant to sign up for what is undeniably a heavy topic. During this workshop, you will not be asked to share the details of your trauma but to self reflect on how it affects and guides your decisions with the understanding that awareness precedes change.

    🪐 This is deep work with an emphasis on post traumatic growth.
