Our school is an alternative high school for students who are behind in credits and at risk of not graduating. Our staff provides necessary support and guidance to help students find success emotionally and academically instead of dropping out of high school. Many students at have suffered trauma during their childhood. Often times underlying anxiety, tension, or depression interferes with the student's ability to focus on academics. During these times, they come to my counseling office get help with coping skills, emotional support, or with anxiety attacks. Research shows that repetitive movements, like rocking, help the body settle into a natural rhythm that synchronizes the brain, leading to soothing and calming feelings. It also assists in reducing symptoms of anxiety, panic, and pain. Rocking chairs would make our counseling sessions even more beneficial as much of my day is devoted to counseling trauma survivors. Having soothing and calming chairs that rock will help students emotional wellness so that they can successfully focus better on their academics and eventually earn their diplomas.
