Sherrá Watkins, PhD, LCMHC-S • Breakout Sessions 1, 2 & 3
This session centers the bodies and minds of advocates, caregivers, and community leaders who show up for their communities every day, often at great personal cost. Many carry stress in both visible and invisible ways. Guided by Dr. Watkins, participants will be introduced to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping, a body-based practice that uses gentle tapping on specific acupressure points, along with focused awareness and emotional processing, to support stress relief, grounding, and restoration. Rooted in multicultural perspectives on healing and activism, this session offers practical tools to help participants deepen self-awareness, reconnect with rest, and build sustainable ways of caring for themselves while continuing to care for their communities. Participants will leave with a technique they can use immediately — in their bodies, in their work, and in their communities.
