When the World Feels Heavy: Antisemitism, Collective Grief, and Nervous System Healing

Wednesday, July 9
6:00pm
Room 11/12

In this gathering, we’ll explore the impact of rising antisemitism on our nervous systems, learn simple tools to calm and ground ourselves, and create space for shared grief, strength, and resilience. Led by a trauma therapist, this will be both a conversation and a moment of collective care.

Led by Megan Carraco, Temple Shalom member and licensed therapist.

About Megan:

I'm a therapist, former researcher and public servant who’s spent my career navigating the intersections of mental health, policy, and science.

I began my career in government and clinical research, contributing to national efforts around behavioral health and addiction. During my time at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), I worked on large-scale studies focused on substance use, treatment, and recovery—always with an eye toward translating research into meaningful, human-centered care.

Now, as the founder of Potomac Behavioral Health, I bring that experience into the therapy room. I work with clients navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, and substance use, using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and parts work to support healing and long-term change. I have deep respect for the courage it takes to face addiction and am honored to walk alongside people in recovery.

Whether I'm providing therapy or working in research, my goal is the same: to help people feel seen, supported, and empowered on their healing journey.
