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

Being type 1 diabetic is hard. Being a teenager with type 1? BRUTAL. Figuring out who you are, what you like/dislike, and acting as a pancreas SUCKS. I know, I've been there. I've been type 1 diabetic for 27 years and have been through it all. That's why I'm starting t1D: growing pains, a support and skills building group for teens age 15-19. This will be a place for teens to connect, share their struggles and strengths, and find confidence in their ability to support themselves when their body isn't cutting it.

This group is an invitation to reconnect with what lives beneath the surface. Ketamine is used as a gentle support to quiet daily defenses and open access to deeper layers of self. Healing is held by the medicine and by the presence of others on their own paths. Wounds often form in relationship, and it is through relationship that they can begin to heal. Together, we create a space of safety, curiosity, and connection. There is no pressure to fix or transcend. Instead, we learn to trust our inner wisdom. In community, healing becomes something shared, not carried alone.

On the outside, you’re capable and composed. In your closest relationships, you may overextend, struggle to express needs, fear being too much, or constantly question your worth. Relationships and self-worth are deeply intertwined. When shame or chronic self-doubt live beneath the surface, they shape boundaries, intimacy, and conflict in ways that feel hard to change alone. This ongoing virtual process group is for high-functioning women ready to explore relational patterns at their roots and work directly with the not-enoughness driving them. We meet Tuesdays at 6pm via Zoom. Superbills provided; insurance not accepted.

Group can be a powerful stand-alone experience or complement individual therapy. Currently accepting new members.
