Unrelenting global crises. Political instability. Rising threats of violence. Today's lawyers are navigating a world that’s anything but stable - and it Is taking a toll. Whether you realize it or not, prolonged exposure to uncertainty and stress can impact your decision-making, your communication style, and even your ability to effectively represent your clients.
This unique program is designed specifically for legal professionals who are feeling the weight of ongoing trauma - either their own, or their clients'. Led by an expert trauma specialist/therapist with deep experience working with high-performing professionals, and an attorney who has been discussing mindset and mental health regarding lawyers for over 20 years, this session offers practical tools and insights that every lawyer needs in today's world.
You will discover:
- What "prolonged trauma" really is — and how it shows up in lawyers and clients
- How trauma affects your thinking, behavior, and professional relationships
- What you can do to stay grounded, effective, and ethical in the face of ongoing stress
- How to work with trauma-affected clients in a way that is compassionate and professionally sound

It's about understanding what you're facing—and equipping yourself to lead, serve, and practice with clarity and care, no matter what the headlines say.;
