How To Listen To God Speaking To Your Spirit

Breaking Covid-19 Health Watch: The Recover

This week on The Recover Check this article to understand the meaning of collective trauma and its impacts on a group of people, populations, societies, and even nations. Examples of historical collective trauma in America include: The great depression of the 1930s World War II September 11, 2001 attacks The great recession in 2008 Additionally, research on previous pandemics such as SARS and Ebola outbreaks gives us some hints on the possible long-term collective impact of the coronavirus pandemic. For instance, the most common mental health conditions associated with pandemics from collective trauma include panic, stress, depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, among others. Read More

Causes of Collective Trauma When people witness or experience significant events, their feelings and reactions get affected. At times, such events cause changes in the culture of a society and mass actions. Below are various events that may produce collective trauma among people. Pandemics such as the coronavirus Terrorist attacks Economic failures Genocide Wars among countries and military conflicts Mass attacks and violence Natural disasters Also, there are different types of traumas. Some occur suddenly and in a moderately limited period. Examples include the Hurricane Maria and September 11 terrorist attacks. Others are long-term and less immediate, such as COVID-19, military conflicts, and economic depression. Read More The right and reputable list of substance abuse treatment centers can make a huge difference. The Recover is a one-stop directory to have. Each rehab provider is accredited and licensed, ensuring top-notch and quality solutions. They have fully-fledged services, including news about addiction and other comprehensive articles. The Recover was recently listed as the best drug rehab directory in the U.S. from an online news source. Read More Over the next months, as long as COVID -19 remains unresolved, things will still be demanding. Also, resuming regular routines will take some time, and limitations will persist. Before coronavirus emerged, those within the sober community depended on group meetings and peer support. Sadly, social distancing restrictions have hindered the effectiveness of such groups. Alternatively, online technologies and social media are gradually taking over and replacing such challenges. Currently, face-to-face meetings involving patients and professional medical providers are adapting so fast while utilizing online resources and tools. For instance, Alcoholics Anonymous meetings had to act rapidly to improve online services as the pandemic progressed. Many other rehabs also decided to use online resources as a way to keep in touch with their patients. Read More Are Recovery Coaches Similar to Therapists? While recovery coaches and therapists are somewhat similar, they usually concentrate more on long-term goals and how to attain such goals. Also, they are always available or reachable anytime you need their services. They do not have the skills to treat addiction or facilitate therapeutic programs such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). However, their skills include providing clients with a solid foundation for focusing on achieving long-term sobriety. Besides, recovery coaches are not clinically licensed, nor are they therapists or psychologists. Therefore they cannot treat initial experiences that led to addiction or trauma associated with it.
