Military: Beyond the Trauma Vortex into the Healing Vortex: A Guide for the Military

Gina Ross

Training military personnel in self-regulation tools lessens the incidence of combat shock and the potential for spreading traumatic reactions among the troops. These same tools can be used after leaving military service to spare veterans, their families and community from unnecessary suffering, thus saving financial resources and helping society better support its veterans.

Diplomats and NGOs: Beyond the Trauma Vortex into the Healing Vortex: A Guide for Diplomats and NGOs

Gina Ross

Written for diplomats and the staff of diplomatic missions, for peace workers, and for the personnel of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and frontline people who work in areas rife with tragedy, conflict and violence, this book is effectively a Red Cross for the Mind. A trauma-sensitive diplomatic corps and NGOs can reduce international conflicts by recommending policies that diminish collective trauma and engage people’s ability to heal. Political leaders can also benefit from the information. This book provides an overall grasp of the concepts of trauma, how it interacts with the brain, and underlying reasons for healing. By reading and practicing the exercises active outsiders can build prevention and resiliency habits, accessing the technique for themselves and helping with those they serve.

Media: Beyond the Trauma Vortex: The Media’s Role in Healing Fear, Terror & Violence

Gina Ross

In her theoretical book, Beyond the Trauma Vortex: the Media’s Role in Healing Fear, Terror & Violence Gina Ross proposes a collaboration between the media, trauma researchers, and helping officials in order to break the vicious cycle of trauma and violence. The media, Ross suggests, can use their tremendous influence to promote peace rather than violence and to heal wounded psyches, communities, and nations. Delving first into the destructive nature of the “trauma vortex” through a variety of individual and historical examples, Ross then offers her insight into an alternate, restorative “healing vortex.” By focusing on the interrelatedness of personal and collective healing, the author makes a compelling case for why—and how—media professionals can play an influential role in effecting widespread healing for their viewers and for themselves.
