Bodies & Trauma

An effect of trauma is a loss of connection to one's body, to others, and to the world. In healing with others in the group, members begin to feel less alone in their experience of trauma and begin to reconnect in ways that individual counseling cannot address. The group works to expand awareness of sensations in the body, understand the physiology underlying trauma and the aftermath of a traumatic experience, learn and practice techniques for soothing uncomfortable emotions and body sensations, and begin to heal trauma through the body as a complement to other forms of healing.
