Virtual interpersonal process group providing space for womxn to address concerns they have in their relationship with self (e.g. self-worth, self-esteem, shame, etc.) and their relationships with others (e.g. partners, friends, coworkers, family of origin, etc.). I use an inclusive definition of “woman” and welcome those who identify as women in a way that is meaningful for them (e.g. cis women, trans women, genderqueer women, and non-binary people who are significantly female identified, and those negatively impacted and harmed by the patriarchy).

**STILL RECRUITING** Questioning your sexuality and/or being newly* out can feel isolating. The process can create insecurity in relationships that used to feel safe. It can feel both liberating and confusing. Joining a support group for this experience brings important connection within the process. For this reason, I'll be running a small, closed support group from April 29th - June 3rd; Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 8pm. We'll be outside with an indoor option in case of rain. We'll be aiming to foster solidarity, care, and laughter. (Please note: *newly out is subjective)

Trauma and PTSD Support Groups
When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
