The Warrior’s Nervous System: Why Combat Mode Doesn’t Turn Off
Warrior Wednesday Speaker Series with Michael Ballard.
How trauma, stress, and survival responses affect sleep, anger, relationships, and daily life.
Join us this Wednesday Speaker Series with Michael Ballard, Board-Certified Mental Health & Trauma Specialist. The goal of the session is to help veterans understand how the nervous system adapts to high-stress environments and why those responses can continue to affect everyday life even after the mission is over. Michael will share practical tools to help regulate stress and improve emotional control, sleep, communication, and overall well-being.
