Integrated Practices for Healing Trauma
Trauma can have a significant impact on our bodies, minds and daily lives. Although we know its effects can be various and pervasive, in this group we honor that another experience is possible.
Our Integrated Practices groups are for anyone with a history of trauma. In each meeting of our 10-week group, we will explore practices that can help us develop an increased awareness of our internal experience in the present moment. Practices will include meditation, tracking sensation in the body, somatic practices, boundaries, compassion and more. We will also learn about how what we have experienced in the past may be affecting the things we struggle with in the present.
In this group, we will not be sharing the details of trauma stories. We will focus on our experience in the present moment, and explore how we might begin to relate to that experience with more neutrality and compassion.
Groups meet in-person at CCIH and will have no more than 10 participants. Fees are self-pay and set on a sliding scale based on household income. Prior to the group start date, members will have a brief virtual meeting with the group therapist, who will answer any questions.
These groups may be a good fit for individuals looking for:
- An opportunity to to explore trauma informed work as a complement to their individual therapy
- A gentle approach to somatic practices
- Support while transitioning from higher levels of care, such as hospitalization, IOP or PHP programs
