Group Details
Overview
Believe it or not, your body remembers. Trauma and stress do not happen only in your mind, they happen to your body as well. This group will allow you to link what happened to you with the way in which you have kept it in your body. You will learn how your body processes information and events, how you can regulate when faced with stressful or upsetting situations, how to recognize triggers and calm your sympathetic system and how to interpret your body’s cues to perceived danger and created fears.
Cost
Free. Whenever possible, we will offer options that are accessible to most. This group is one of those options. Our intention is to help individuals access mental health support without having to worry about insurance coverage, cost or bureaucracy.
