Groups
Dealing w/ CPTSD
Section I meets Thursdays from 6:30-8 pm and is for people in later stages of recovery; I am hoping to restart another group (day/time TBD) for those in the earlier stages of healing soon. These groups help people who survived early childhood trauma, neglect and/or abuse further their recovery. We focus on creating a sense of safety in one's own body and with others. Participants share their week-to-week experiences, develop skills and engage in psychoeducation to foster understanding and healing. Members improve self-esteem, practice self-expression and further healing and healthy grieving.

Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
(Please note: this group is not currently meeting; a new group may form when enough people show interest, so feel free to reach out.) This group is for people identifying as women (trans women welcome) who have been in destructive relationships with people whose narcissistic tendencies include treating others manipulatively and abusively. Whether enacted by parents, bosses, romantic partners, siblings or friends, Narcissistic Abuse undermines self-esteem, distorts one's reality and threatens the independence victims. This is a place to learn, share, heal and grow. Attention will be paid to things that make us vulnerable to narcissistic exploitation.

Process Group for Professionals - Virtual
Weekly process group for professionals who have overcome past trauma to establish a reasonably well-balanced life, but who still long for deep connection with like-minded adults. In this group, we will discuss work, relationships, aging, spiritual growth and other life issues. Using traditional talk therapy, role playing and other methods focused on mind-body awareness, participants will explore how issues from childhood still affect them in the present. We will discuss relationships, personal health and wellness, work and family issues. Participants should have previous experience with individual therapy, but can be new to group.
