Chill Drills

Audio recording, 60 minutes

The stress of combat and other traumatic situations can linger long after your deployment has ended. Back home, it takes time to adjust. It can be hard to sleep, hard to talk, hard to be patient -- with yourself, your family and friends, even with cars and trucks on the road. Many of these feelings lessen with time. Meanwhile, you can teach yourself to relax more by using this recording.

In this recording, Heidi J. Bauer, MSW, LCSW, an Army Family Team Building instructor at Fort McCoy, leads you through four drills that will train you to recognize and control your stress. These drills will help you:

• Relax your mind by tuning into your body
• Release your stress
• Ease your back pain
• Get to sleep

Chill Drills is available as a pocket-sized, pre-loaded, battery-powered MP3 player so you can listen anywhere, any time. Use these drills before, during, and after your deployment to stay calm and focused throughout.
