Become a memberWelcome to a monthly series that focuses on trauma and healing through its relationship to transcendent spirituality. Sessions will include silent meditation, journaling, peer-to-peer support, and ample time for questions and answers. Although these sessions will focus on important psychological and spiritual issues, and will allow for personal sharing, the sessions themselves are not intended as a form of psychotherapy and does not substitute for the importance of individual trauma therapy with a qualified professional.
The topics of Healing Trauma and Deepening Spirituality. They are iterative, meaning we come back again and again to core themes. Here are our next six sessions:
- Being the Doer, Letting Go of the Doer
- Talking to Family About Trauma
- The Energetics of Recovery and Growth
- Overcoming the Fear of Labels
- Trauma and Romantic Relationships
- Forgiveness, and When to Cut Ties with a Loved One
This session repeats every 1st Friday of the month at 2pm Pacific Time. Each session will have a different theme.
