Defusing Services (In Person)
If your Team has been through a crisis or highly intense event we also offer Facilitated Group Defusings for professionals, first responders, community, and family groups.
Defusing after an intense or crisis event is a critical step in the process of emotional recovery and can significantly contribute to the long-term well-being of individuals involved.
An opportunity for individuals to express their thoughts and emotions in a supportive environment.
Defusing provides a structured space where these emotions can be released safely, preventing them from festering and potentially leading to more severe psychological effects such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or burnout.
By addressing emotions early, individuals are better equipped to process their experience and begin the healing process.
