High stress, trauma, loss or unmet needs can overwhelm us and alter our mental and emotional balance, causing symptoms at the physiological, emotional, mental and behavioral levels. They polarize us and compromise the objectivity of our thinking and the effectiveness of our actions to meet our needs. Based on Somatic Experiencing, EmotionAid™ is a cutting-edge body/mind/spirit technique, that offers tools to deal with daily stress, anxiety, and physical and emotional symptoms on the spot, anytime, anywhere. It allows us to quickly recover control over our emotions and actions in times of high stress and trauma, enhance self-esteem, prevent trauma and develop resiliency. It helps us better deal with people who are agitated, anxious or angry. It is for psychotherapists, SEPs, medical staff, mediators, counselors, mental health professionals, and anyone who wants to know how to cope with stress.

– Understand a simple and helpful definition of stress and trauma.
