Integrated Practices for Healing Trauma: a Group for Those with a History of Trauma

The effects of trauma can have a significant impact on both the body and mind and on our daily lives. The Integrated Practices (IP) groups use current trauma theory to explore the neurobiological and relational effects of trauma. Although we know the effects of trauma can be various and pervasive, in this group we honor that another experience is possible.


Integrated Practices (IP) Part 1

In IP 1, group members will learn practices that can help them develop an increased capacity to work with painful traumatic experiences, and an increased awareness of internal experience in the present moment. Practices will include: mindfulness, meditation, tracking sensation in the body, boundaries, and self-compassion.

In this group, we will not be sharing the details of trauma stories; we will be focusing on experience in the present.

In IP 2, we will continue to deepen into the practices learned in the first group. Group members will develop an increased capacity to work with painful traumatic experiences and an increased awareness of internal experience. There will also be updates based on what we are learning in the ever-evolving world of trauma-informed treatment.  As in the first IP experience, we will not be sharing the details of trauma stories, staying focused on experience in the present.
