(In English and Espanol)
Jondi Whitis and Deborah D Miller, Ph.D. are completing an emotional first-aid trauma relief book and course to gently help children quickly release the emotional and physical after-effects of the almost daily traumas occurring in the world today.  

The book is meant for anyone, whether parent, teacher, professional or caring adult. It is a practical collection of simple, easy-to-use techniques to calm, balance, regulate and release the effects of challenging and traumatic events. Our primary goal is to help prevent challenging events from becoming traumatic events. We teach useful strategies and interventions to support you and others through challenges, and speed recovery, quickly and gently. 

Our position is that we can all help children avoid common after-effects from troubling Life events, and by doing so, ensure they live healthier, happier lives. 

Troubling times typically cause us to react with a fight/flight/freeze reaction, whether ‘Big’ and ‘Little’ T’ traumatic events, such as: 

● Natural Disasters (earthquake, flood, tornado, fire, freak accidents) 

● Man-made Disasters (car crashes, war, shootings, attacks, immigration/refugee situations, crimes, addictions) 

● Family Disruptions (incarceration, drugs/addictions, abuse, removal from home, loss/separation/divorce) 

● Medical Issues/Situations (diagnosis, illness, treatment, death) 

● Unsettling events at home, work or school that can cause lasting emotional wounds, like bullying, targeting or aggression


All of these commonly create a ‘threat response,’ which is a way of saying that the situation has triggered the body’s natural reactions to perceived or very real threats to our well-being or survival.  In this book we teach simple strategies and intervention techniques that incorporate breathing, grounding, and nervous system regulation. Together with helpful information about our human design under stress, the approaches we offer help anyone develop a basic understanding and plan of action for helping children through times of trouble.

We have divided this Book into three basic, practical parts: 

1. How To Help Yourself 
2. How to Help Children 
3. How to Teach Others to Help Children

Your support will help bring this book and course to the public at large and especially to those who will help children desperately in need of emotional support and self-regulation skills. Many children are lost due to traumatic events and their unresolved after-effects. We’re on a mission to give everyone better ways to deal with emotional trauma, to avoid the creation of life-long emotional issues in ourselves and from passing these traumas on to another generation.

Jondi Whitis y Deborah D Miller, Ph.D. están completando un libro y un curso de alivio de trauma emocional de primeros auxilios para ayudar suavemente a los niños a liberar rápidamente las secuelas emocionales y físicas de los traumas casi diarios que ocurren en el mundo de hoy.

El libro está destinado a cualquier persona, ya sea padre, maestro, profesional o adulto comprensivo. Es una colección práctica de técnicas simples y fáciles de usar para calmar, equilibrar, regular y liberar los efectos de eventos desafiantes y traumáticos. Nuestro objetivo principal es ayudar a evitar que los eventos desafiantes se conviertan en eventos traumáticos. Enseñamos estrategias e intervenciones útiles para apoyarlo a usted y a otros a través de desafíos y acelerar la recuperación, rápida y suavemente.

Nuestra posición es que todos podemos ayudar a los niños a evitar las secuelas comunes de los eventos problemáticos de la Vida y, al hacerlo, garantizar que vivan vidas más saludables y felices.

Los tiempos difíciles generalmente nos hacen reaccionar con una reacción de lucha / huida / congelación, ya sean eventos traumáticos “grandes” y “pequeños”, como:

● Desastres naturales (terremotos, inundaciones, tornados, incendios, accidentes extraños)

● Desastres provocados por el hombre (accidentes automovilísticos, guerra, tiroteos, ataques, situaciones de inmigración / refugiados, crímenes, adicciones)

● Interrupciones familiares (encarcelamiento, drogas / adicciones, abuso, expulsión del hogar, pérdida / separación / divorcio)

● Problemas / situaciones médicas (diagnóstico, enfermedad, tratamiento, muerte)

● Eventos inquietantes en el hogar, el trabajo o la escuela que pueden causar heridas emocionales duraderas, como el acoso escolar, la focalización o la agresión

Todos estos comúnmente crean una “respuesta a la amenaza”, que es una forma de decir que la situación ha desencadenado las reacciones naturales del cuerpo a las amenazas percibidas o muy reales para nuestro bienestar o supervivencia. En este libro enseñamos estrategias simples y técnicas de intervención que incorporan la respiración, la conexión a tierra y la regulación del sistema nervioso. Junto con información útil sobre nuestro diseño humano bajo estrés, los enfoques que ofrecemos ayudan a cualquiera a desarrollar una comprensión básica y un plan de acción para ayudar a los niños en tiempos de dificultades.

Hemos dividido este libro en tres partes básicas y prácticas:

1. Cómo ayudarte a ti mismo

2. Cómo ayudar a los niños

3. Cómo enseñar a otros a ayudar a los niños

Su apoyo ayudará a llevar este libro y curso al público en general y especialmente a aquellos que ayudarán a los niños que necesitan desesperadamente apoyo emocional y habilidades de autorregulación. Muchos niños se pierden debido a eventos traumáticos y sus secuelas no resueltas. Tenemos la misión de brindarles a todos mejores formas de lidiar con el trauma emocional, evitar la creación de problemas emocionales de por vida en nosotros mismos y transmitir estos traumas a otra generación.
