These figures highlight the urgent need for a supportive legal framework that prioritizes mental health and well-being. The concept of trauma-informed care emphasizes understanding the impacts of trauma in the legal profession.

Titled "HOW TRAUMA SHOWS UP ENERGETICALLY," this image lists how trauma affects each chakra, from hypervigilance in the Root to disconnection in the Crown. It emphasizes these are temporary survival responses. Chakra symbols and a meditating figure illustrate the concept.
