Complex Trauma Support Group

Complex PTSD occurs due to repetitive trauma that typically happens in childhood. Those with C-PTSD often suffer from the same symptoms of PTSD plus emotional dysregulation, a distorted concept or perception of themselves leading to poor self-esteem, shame, and guilt, and struggle to show up in relationships the way they want. At Winding Road Therapy Group, we examine how your past may be influencing your current functioning. We want to help you with what has happened to you rather than simply treating symptoms or identifying what is wrong with you.

Join us in this innovative online trauma group. Due to the powerful effect of trauma, groups' ability to provide support and reconnections for members is particularly crucial for trauma treatment. Our approach is to combine some time and space for group members to connect with one another and to learn some of the fundamentals of trauma treatment. The group will also process through the book "The Body Keeps The Score" by Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk. We will treat trauma in general terms in the group; however, each member may also benefit from individual trauma therapy.

Online DBT Skills Training Group

The main goal of DBT is to gain “a life worth living” by learning skills to manage emotions, tolerate distress, and improve relationships. DBT effectively reduces suicidal behaviors and problems with anger, sadness, and hopelessness. DBT helps manage multiple modes of dysregulation. Emotional dysregulation is a combination of extreme emotional vulnerability with difficulty in regulating emotions once they are aroused. In our DBT group, clients learn a collection of skills to manage their feelings and the impulsive, often automatic behaviors that accompany powerful emotions.
