Advanced Trauma Recovery Skills
February 13, 2024 (6 weeks - online)
Group participants join with the intent to change the way that their traumatic experiences are format is gender neutral and does not require trauma history disclosure within the group. As an advanced recovery program, we go beyond the basics of grounding, orienting and recovery skills focusing on developing higher tolerance of triggering stimuli, experimenting with new skills in real time and setting challenges week to week to practice between sessions.
In previous groups, participants have chosen to focus on a specific trauma symptom by working themselves into a safe situation, using newly developed skills to prepare themselves and move towards doing what they want to do and then coming back to group to process how it went and get support on where to build their skills so that they can keep moving towards the goal.
The group follows a weekly progression with each skill building on the ones before.
