Support Group for Female Survivors of Sexual Trauma
This is an on-going group for those who identify as female who have survived sexual trauma, whether it be assault, rape, incest, child sexual abuse, date rape, molestation, or marital rape. It is a safe and confidential place to share with other women how the trauma has impacted your life and to explore different healing modalities. We explore the impact of the trauma(s), learn to identify and manage triggers, develop coping mechanisms, maintain safety, increase ability to access social support, tame PTSD, lessen anxiety and depression, process our experiences, build a plan for the future, and begin to heal somatically. Each group session begins and ends with a short mindfulness or somatic practice. Emotional safety is a high priority, and two therapists are present in case a member needs to step out. Group members will help each other to work through interpersonal obstacles to transforming their lives and overcoming trauma. Experience support under the guidance of professionals who are trained in trauma, abuse, and issues of sexuality.
Every Thursday evening 7:10pm – 8:30pm

All potential participants complete a screening interview and are introduced to a series of handouts on PTSD and trauma before joining the group. We ask for a minimum 3-month commitment. The group is ongoing.

Wise Old Woman Spirit Seminar - Help as a Partnership
The magic of modern technology "zooms" into a WOW spirit group forming now! A free 30-minute talk begins the adventure of getting to know her better, and describes the "bare bones" of the opus. The Wise Old Woman spirit brings Great Good Fortune! Questions invited throughout.
This ongoing group-to-be seeks brave and curious explorers of the archetype of the Wise Old Woman, a much-needed balance for Jung's Wise Old Man, indeed, for the world, itself.
The feminine wisdom figure that has always been, has waited long enough.
The world - as in everywhere - suffers grave difficulties. However, the feminine wisdom spirit bears great hope.
Through presentations and discussion, shared dreams and experiences, active imaginations, synchronicities and other psychological phenomena, we together turn to this feminine
wisdom figure for just what she is - wisdom in relationship.
The Wise Old Woman spirit offers refuge, solace, sagacity and peace. Our partnership
holds the values Emma Jung championed: intellectual focus, spiritual strength, and creativity.
Dates TBD: 12:30-2:00pm
