REAL stands for: Restore, Empower, Accept, Learn. Discovering your significant other has a secret sexual life is a traumatic event. This open women's group is focused on healing the symptoms (i.e. depression, physical pain, sexual withdrawal, anxiety, increased awareness of threat/pain, even suicidal thoughts etc.). If you've been sexually betrayed, and you're dealing with challenges that have left you feeling hurt, angry, ashamed, broken, hopeless and confused, you aren't alone. This group meets weekly for 1.5 hours and is limited to 6 women.

We all have the innate capacity to heal ourselves. We have defense patterns in our bodies that inhibit us from showing up fully. Breathwork allows us to release what is no longer serving us emotionally, physically, mentally, + energetically. We tend to “hold on” to things in our bodies on all levels and most of the time we are unaware of how to move it or maybe even understand why we have this block, pain, or stuck-ness. This is a 10-session group that has two options to meet "online" or in person. Reach out for an application.

Our mission at Analog Counseling & Consulting Services is to provide counseling that helps people embrace their identity and life with more authenticity, agency and vitality. We believe in order for this to happen people need the real and creative emotional presence of another with them to help them encounter their true selves and identify and feel what they have been unconsciously longing for and afraid of. This is a depth approach that is counter-cultural but that is life changing.

As a Certified Brené Brown Daring Way facilitator I am offering a new group using Brené Brown's new book, RISING STRONG. This group is a chance to put what you have read into practice. Rising Strong, is based on the simple physics of vulnerability: If we are brave enough, often enough, we will fall. This is a curriculum about what it takes to get back up and how owning our stories of struggle gives us the power to write a daring new ending. Struggle can be our greatest call to courage and the clearest path to a wholehearted life.

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.
