Good morning,
It is time once again for one of Dr. David Feinstein's amazing summaries of latest scientific research into the effects of different types of Energy Psychology. This month he shares about how these tools can be used after natural disasters. David writes:
The number of natural disasters, from hurricanes and tornadoes to floods and forest fires, has nearly doubled in the past decade compared to the previous decade due largely, according to the United Nations, to “extreme weather events.” Meanwhile, human-made disasters–such as mass shootings, warfare, violent conflicts

Even for those who do not develop PTSD, symptoms of anxiety, depression,

If you know other people in your life who would be interested in this type of research, please pass it along.
I hope you have a great day,
Gene
