Anger Management - A CBT Approach w/Peer Support
Sometimes our emotions get the best of us and overflow into other areas of our lives. Often, when this happens, it can make quite a mess of things, especially if it happens frequently and you're not really sure what causes it. We use a CBT approach within a group setting to help individuals explore strong emotions and develop strategies for understanding and expressing those emotions in a more productive manner. In addition, you will learn effective de-escalation techniques based on the Polyvagal Theory of how your vagus nerve controls responses to your environment - and how to change them.

Somatic Experiencing Group Sessions
Somatic Experiencing is one method of addressing the effect of stressful events and trauma on the physical body. Often these effects become stored in various locations and cause trouble later when a sensory input bumps into one such-stored event (PTSD). Somatic Experiencing provides support for recognizing those stored sensations and resolving them through acknowledgement and understanding. One hallmark of the experience of trauma is the absence of choice, but in the interpersonal world of the group, the members are reminded over and over that they have choices, even about whether to take up a given opportunity or not.
