The substance abuse, anger management, domestic violence and trauma workbooks, are divided into sessions of 8-24 modules, with each module completed in a group session. Clients complete homework for each module prior to coming to a session. In group, each client presents his or her homework and the facilitator passes the client to the next module — or has the client redo the homework based on objective criteria. Some groups are open-ended, meaning that new clients can enter an ongoing group at any time.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we learned how to handle our emotions in elementary school? Maybe life could’ve been a little bit easier. Unfortunately for the majority of us, we weren’t taught these skills. In fact many of us got the opposite education— emotions are something to be embarrassed about & hidden or stuffed down. In this group you will learn the truth about emotions & how to handle them. in seven topics including emotional management, mindfulness, stress management/problem solving, communication, assertiveness, relaxation, & grief. This is a revolving group, so if you start at topic three, topic one will come around again.

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.
