Time to Prepare for the US Election Results and Its Aftermath

Are you worried about the election results? We are all regardless of the outcome.

This creates anxiety and tension and possible trauma. This isn’t good for anyone.

Our autonomic nervous systems are on high alert and likely the absence of a definitive outcome on election night will cause more issues in our minds and bodies.

Can you hear a wee yipes? Consider making trauma toolboxes for adults and children, teachers and students and families and communities.

Be prepared. Order this how-to guide and there is time to both vote and create trauma toolboxes.

They can be created easily and as a guide explains, they can help us all to deal with acute and deferred trauma.

Try them. It is better than doing nothing about one’s feelings.

So, please vote and please create a trauma toolbox. Now is when both are needed.

The one thing the world wants from the US presidential election is a clear result.

The worst possible outcome would be a contested result, as in 2000, when it took 38 days for the US Supreme Court to confirm George W Bush's victory over Al Gore.

Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden, are committed to further fiscal stimulus to support a recovery from coronavirus.

Regardless of whoever wins, new measures are needed to stimulate the US economy.
