    Managing Adversity and Trauma in the time of COVID-19

    The Sedona WomenSedona AZ (October 10, 2020) The Sedona Women (TSW) continues its 20-year tradition of “Making a Difference” when it presents “Resilience: The Key to Managing Adversity and Trauma” at this month’s virtual program meeting — October 14, 2020 at 10:00am via Zoom. COVID-19 has introduced stress in our lives in multiple ways. This stress may cause a breaking point for some who are already struggling or bring new trauma into ordinarily calm lives. Why is it that some people seem to manage adversity, trauma, tragedy and other stresses well, while others are overwhelmed and suffer physical, mental and emotional problems?

    TSW’s three-person panel of experts will answer this question, discuss resiliency, and offer actionable ways to cope during these stressful times. Teri Pipe, Ph.D., RN, the keynote speaker, will address why some people handle crisis differently and triumph, while others crash. She will talk about what she has seen occur during COVID-19 and what skills are necessary to help with stress. Learn from Dr. Pipe how developing resilience in oneself and family members, including children, can lead to a more manageable life.

    Carmen Griffin, a local resident, will discuss her experience with resiliency and how she has personally used techniques to balance her life and successfully beat depression.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
