As part of The War Memorial’s commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, this two-part series explores the impact of trauma and the journey toward resilience. Led by professor, Dr. Judy Jacobs, the talks—The Psychology of Trauma and Managing the Stressors of the Day—offer insights and tools for anyone seeking to understand and support healing. While active military, veterans, first responders, and their families are especially encouraged to attend, these sessions are open to and valuable for all members of the community.
The Psychology of Trauma
During our daily lives, we all experience “acute stress” for various reasons which may cause our defense responses to jump into action. However, our bodies will recover swiftly once the perceived cause of the stressor has passed. Traumatic Stress is a more severe bodily reaction caused by incidents (i.e., war, severe accidents, assaults, workplace violence, etc.) in which the person experiences or witnesses actual threatened death or serious injury to self or others.
Topics that Dr. Jacobs will cover in this lecture include:
The types of stressors leading to traumatic stress
The characteristics of a traumatic event
The effects of traumatic stress on the body and relationships
Dealing with the effects of a traumatic event, i.e., taking care of oneself
This series is co-developed by:
Bob Rabe—Vietnam Veteran (military police), with 38 years of law enforcement experience. He has been involved in Critical Incident Stress Management for over 20 years.
