Discover Healing Together: Live Group Sessions on Understanding Trauma in Real Time

Trauma can cast a shadow of loneliness and isolation, convincing us we are all alone in our struggles.

Yet, the power of healing thrives in connection.

Withdrawing from life — our essence, our physical selves, our families, and our communities — only magnifies the symptoms of trauma.

That’s why my "Understanding Trauma in Real Time" live group sessions offer a sanctuary where you can reconnect and embrace compassion for yourself and others. 

Together, we explore coping mechanisms on both individual and communal levels.

You’ll meet like-minded people who are also seeking understanding and healing of personal stories, relationships, and emotional well-being. 

“When we are able to communicate our thoughts and feelings to those we care about, and then feel validated and heard, we are better able to thrive, connect, and be our best selves.” 

— Colleen Cavanagh

Common Questions: Navigating Your Path Towards Healing

Taking a step towards understanding and healing trauma often raises many questions; it's a significant and deeply personal journey. 

Don't worry — these feelings are perfectly normal, and I strive to create a safe, open environment where you can ask anything. 

Below are some of the most frequently asked questions that will provide a clearer perspective on our trauma sessions.

If you have additional questions, please feel free to reach out.

  • Sessions can be done in a series or one session only. The sessions are designed to be complete as a single session.

    The space is created to offer quickly gained trauma knowledge, insight, and guidance.

    This space does not offer a deep dive into individual traumas, although stories and shares will be welcome. 

  • There is no commitment to attend more than one session.

  • Yes, groups can trigger trauma responses.

    This possibility is addressed at the beginning of each group, and tools for safety and resourcing are provided as part of the group guidelines and psychoeducation.

    As the group facilitator, I am a highly experienced trauma specialist and will respond to triggers as they arise. 

  • Being triggered is natural in all settings, but especially in group settings.

    Group guidelines and discussion include learning how to respond to triggers in a healthy and productive way.

  • Yes, confidentiality is a main tenet of the group and a requirement in order to be accepted into the group.

  • If additional support is needed outside of the group, you can schedule a 30-minute process therapy session at a group-discounted rate.
