• Trauma Prep & Recovery: Preparation and processing Groups for Survivors of Trauma.  This structured group is focused on what people began to think about themselves, others, and the way the world works as a result of the trauma, not about what happened.  Each session features new skills to help people reassure themselves – whatever they are feeling – as they learn new ways to free themselves from the domination of trauma in their lives.  Engaging in the protocol with fellow group members, rather than going solo, offers synergy and support.
