How Not to Become Your Own Personal Injury Case Part 2

On the second part of the series How Not to Become Your Own Personal Injury Case, Cynthia Lackner will offer an overview of how a lawyer can self-regulate and self-soothe, to help diminish the ongoing effects of Secondary PTSD, also known as Secondary Traumatic Stress, (STS). More and more lawyers, are triggered by constantly being exposed to extremely disturbing information, from their clients. The recounting of these events that are painful and horrific, can cause lawyers to feel physically and mentally ill. 

Cynthia has a masters in psychology and is a certified Emotional Brain Training Provider.  Her emphasis is on helping attorneys learn how to quickly self-regulate their stress response throughout the day.  She has a private practice in Denver and also works with people on the phone, or through SKYPE from around the country and world-wide.

She has lectured at the University of Colorado and Denver Law Schools, Lawyers Helping Lawyers board, Colorado Defense Lawyers Association, Colorado Trial Lawyers conference and the Colorado Legislative Legal Services. 

Learning the self-regulation skills and tools takes approximately 6, 1 hour sessions. Doctors refer patients to her.
