The second of three PowerPoints translating my research on the intersection of Empowerment Self-Defense (ESD), the neurobiology of stress and resilience, and social work.

This slide-show provides an introduction to the neurobiological mechanisms of traumatic stress. There are many multi-media links embedded in the presentation. ESD instructors, trauma survivors, social workers and others should be interested in our growing knowledge about the effects of trauma on the brain and body.
