This is a weekly process group for adults who are ready to do deeper relational work around trauma in the company of others who understand. Unlike a strictly psychoeducational group, this one centers on real-time interpersonal process — how you connect, protect yourself, and show up with others — while staying grounded in trauma-informed principles: safety, choice, collaboration, and trust.

The most effective approach for social anxiety is exposure, often called shame-attacking. In each group session, we work together to brainstorm what members will practice between meetings—since that’s where the real progress happens. The process is supportive, engaging, and even fun as we encourage each other along the way.
