Butterfly Group (Women only Trauma Group)
This trauma group if facilitated by two Clinical social workers. The group is based in Narrative Exposure Therapy, a treatment for trauma disorders. It is understood that the story a person tells himself/herself about their life influences how the person perceives their experiences and wellbeing. Framing one's life story solely around the traumatic experiences leads to a feeling of persistent trauma/distress. By expressing the narrative, the patient fills in details of fragmentary memories and develops a coherent autobiographical story. In so doing, the memory of a traumatic episode is refined and understood. --Ten weeks longs, 90 minute sessions. questions- call/email.
