Groups
Sexual Trauma Survivors Group
This is a long-term, open process group for female survivors of sexual trauma that incorporates some skill-building, grounding techniques and body-centered interventions when appropriate. Participants can expect to 1) Discuss their experiences with other women who understand 2) Hear other women's stories 3) Explore how the trauma continues to impact their present-day life (friendships, romantic relationships, sex, work, etc) 4) Learn ways to better cope with traumatic symptoms. My colleague, Mariya Sirman, LPC, runs this group. Please email admin@ciracenter.org if you are interested in joining. Currently virtual.
