Women's Trauma Grp: Increasing Safety & Stability
This Women's Trauma Group is a supportive group treatment approach for survivors of interpersonal and complex trauma who are just beginning to come to terms with the impact of interpersonal trauma on their lives. Group is focused on 1) psychoeducation- learning about the impact of trauma on mind, body, and spirit; 2) coping skills to establish safety and stabilization; and 3) interpersonal processing in the context of a supportive group of relatable women. Group members are encouraged to limit trauma details to provide a safe atmosphere for all.

Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness
People affected by trauma tend to feel unsafe in their bodies, and they can easily be triggered in a way that regulating and soothing emotions in everyday life becomes a constant challenge. Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness builds capacity to contact difficult, uncomfortable, and potentially overwhelming internal experiences (thoughts, memories, bodily sensations) in a way that enhances security and stability and reduces the potential for retraumatization in response to triggers and challenges of daily life.
