Healing Trauma in War Torn Countries
By Julie Roberts, Ph.D.
Abstract:
Women for Women International (WFWI) helps victims of war become self sufficient
in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, The Democratic Republic of the Congo,
Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Sudan. WFWI conducts year-long programs for
participants, providing financial aid, job training, rights awareness and leadership
education. They also want to help participants deal with the often severe trauma
they experience during war. I have adapted my Energy Psychology methodology called
Clearing Limits Energetically with Acupressure Release (CLEAR™) so that it may be
used in groups in short, one hour sessions as a part of WFWI’s program. In July 2008,
WFWI sent me to Nigeria to test CLEAR with its participants to see if it could
translate into other cultures and to see if the women would accept it. In this
article, I explain CLEAR and the pilot program in Nigeria with WFWI facilitators
and participants.

Leaders may have difficulty dealing with conflict, providing effective feedback; they may fear risk or have
inappropriate reactions. Regardless of the behavior, if it is the result of blocks, business will be negatively impacted.
This article explains how leaders may be blocked and how they can free those blocks.
