The outcome of witnessing or being involved in a traumatic event can cause psychological harm. Trauma affects a persons ability to function or cope and can display symptoms such as confusion, anxiety, numbness or agitation.

PTSD must have symptoms for more than a month and must cause significant distress or problems in the individuals daily functioning.

Advocacy for families with gifted and 2E children
A gifted or 2E child, if not properly catered for in school, will need assistance through their entire educational life. It can be a long and arduous journey with plenty of tears and frustration. So learning how to advocate for your gifted or 2E child is very important as it will assist with their social and emotional health and their academics.
Executive Function Skills
Executive function (EF) is a name given to a group of brain processes that work together. They help us with skills such as organisation, impulse control, sustained attention and time management, that we use to function in our everyday life. EF's are a learnt skill and do not fully develop until the individual is 25. So if your child shows behaviours such as leaving papers everywhere, anger or frustration, time blindness or attention issues, then there maybe some issues with their EF
Hypnotherapy
Now this is not a person swinging an object in front of your face and asking you to do weird things. Hypnotherapy is actually a changed state of awareness and increased relaxation. This treatment may help to treat mental conditions such as, stress, anxiety or phobias. It is a therapy that assists people through engaging with their unconscious mind, which, in turn, may improve focus and concentration.
