WOMEN’S POST-TRAUMA THERAPY GROUP

This group serves the needs of women who sustained significant early-life relational trauma and who are currently higher-functioning. For example:
  ◦ those who were raised in an atmosphere of pervasive emotional neglect, derision or criticism
  ◦ women who experienced exploitive, disturbed, substance-abusing, or otherwise 'absent' primary caregivers
  ◦ those with a history of physical or sexual maltreatment.

  Members are specifically supported in working on
  ◦ themes of persisting shame, guilt and self-blame
  ◦ healing of relational wounds and isolation
  ◦ becoming more comfortable with a range of emotions, and
  ◦ understanding the function of self-sabotaging and destructive practices.

 This is an ongoing psychotherapy group conducted within a highly supportive context. Group process emphasizes the longer-term, present day ramifications of developmental trauma. It is not intended as a forum for stabilization of acute post-traumatic symptoms.

Group meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7:30-9 p.m. Members are asked to make an initial commitment to attend 10 sessions with the option to continue open-endedly thereafter.

          Location: Upper West Side.

          Fee: $60 per group.

An initial consultation is required and offered at no charge.
