Resilience training, stories, and health
Julie Salverson
This article is derived from my participation in, and experiences at, the
fifth annual War Horse Symposium in Alberta in September 2015. The creative
arts offer tools for self-awareness and self-care to military personnel,
their families, and other first responders. Resilience training engages
participants in interpersonal and organizational reconnaissance through the
language of theatre – the language of bodies analyzing experiences and
stories. This work addresses physical flexibility, energy flow and
mindfulness, peer support, action-based role-play, and the things people say
to each other while witnessing what can't be put into words. It also
describes an environment that activates pleasure, laughter, and play. Four
elements promote self-knowledge, community connection, and healing in
creative resilience training: witnessing and being witnessed, discovering
narrative options for re-storying one's life, experiencing oneself beyond
the definition of one's injury, and connecting with others in ways that
build healthier brains. When we experience being respected, not shamed;
listened to, not ignored; safe, not at risk; our neurological pathways
change. Inter-subjectively, both participant and witness become changed
neurologically and psychologically. War Horse Awareness Foundation founder
Deanna Lennox says, “Creative resiliency training gets connected to their
bodies and spirits.”

Yoga and Canadian Armed Forces members' well-being: an analysis based on
select physiological and psychological measures
Dianne Groll, Danielle Charbonneau, Stéphanie Bélanger, Samantha Senyshyn
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric illness that may
develop following a traumatic event or a situation involving the threat of
death or serious injury to oneself or others. PTSD is often comorbid with
other mental and physical health conditions, such as depression, anxiety,
and chronic pain. Several therapeutic, pharmaceutical, and non-traditional
interventions are being investigated to eliminate or reduce the severity of
these comorbidities in those who suffer from PTSD. The current study
investigated the effect of yoga on individuals who did, or did not, screen
positively for PTSD on their self-reported symptoms of depression, anxiety,
and anger. We also examined perceived physical pain, sleep disturbances, and
mental and physical health–related quality of life.
