My main approach to working with trauma truly lies in doing Parts Work using the Internal Family Systems (IFS) lens. We all have parts of ourselves, that show up differently (each with their thoughts, feelings, and motivations) depending on who we are with. When it comes to trauma, parts of the self could be stuck in time. In other words, the adult part of the self has already survived the worst.

Groups

Sexual Abuse Survivors Group: IFS Informed (FULL)

Hosted by

Cristina Noelle Mardirossian

Group for Female Identified Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse: The format includes group discussions using parts language, guided IFS exercises/meditations that that emphasize working with protective, exiled, blended and polarized parts in a group setting and cultivating increased self energy. IFS therapy offers participants the ability to work towards increased self-compassion, reduction of shame, assistance in unburdening parts who have been forced into extreme roles as a survivor strategy and healing wounded and traumatized parts. Ultimately the group aims to empower survivors through recovering from childhood sexual abuse by healing the wounds of the past and provided a new experience in the present.
