Long after sexual trauma, you may struggle with anxiety, shame, grief, and isolation. Those close to you may inadvertently trigger strong reactions like anger/rage, fear/panic, and intrusive thoughts. You don't feel like yourself, and you're not sure who to talk to. I've spent the past 17 years helping sexual trauma survivors build self-compassion and reclaim their identity so it's not defined by trauma. I created this group so survivors can connect and empower each other as they work toward healing. Next group series: August 2026. Visit www.wellness4humanity.com for more information.

I am interested in forming a multigenerational women's support group which would meet twice/monthly. The purpose of the group would be to provide a safe, supportive environment for women to freely discuss and explore different stage of life issues, relationship problems, career issues as women, coping with children or parents etc. and receive constructive feedback in a therapy led setting. Each group will begin with a brief mindfulness session and check-in.

When you fly on an airplane, the flight attendant instructs you to put the oxygen mask on yourself first before helping others. By making sure you have enough oxygen, you are then able to help others with their oxygen mask. This is a wonderful analogy for our own self-care in life. When we take care of ourselves, we are better able to be there for others as well. This is a group to practice self-care and self-love. Please email for details!

Women's Issues Support Groups
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.

How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.

How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
