Bodies & Trauma

Among the effects of trauma is a loss of connection to one’s body, to others, and to the world. In this group, members begin to not feel so alone in their experience of trauma and reconnect in ways that individual counseling cannot address. Together we work toward expanding awareness of sensations in the body, understanding the physiology underlying trauma and the aftermath of a traumatic experience, learning and practicing techniques for soothing uncomfortable emotions and body sensations, and beginning to heal trauma through the body as a complement to other forms of healing. bodiesandtrauma@relationalcenter.org
