Trauma Recovery Group
The Archdiocese of Atlanta Victim Assistance Program has scheduled a 9-session Trauma Recovery Group for Thursday nights at the Chancery offices in Smyrna.
Have you recently undergone a life altering event?
Are you a survivor of a traumatic childhood
Are you currently experiencing most of the following?
Fear and anxiety · Irritability or anger · Emotionally numb · Lack of focus · Overwhelming sadness · Easily startled or frightened · Changes in sleeping or eating habits · Bouts of crying that come easily · Recurrent nightmares or thoughts about the trauma.
The goal of the Trauma Recovery Group is to help you improve your day-to-day functioning. This group focuses on helping you to live effectively in the present, not on the recovery of repressed memories. The group will help you to stabilize by identifying conflicts and unlearning specific distortions related to the effects of the trauma you have experienced and replace them with new tools learned in the group setting.
This group is based on Dr. Colin Ross’s Trauma Model, an internationally recognized and research-based model for effective therapy with survivors of trauma. Through this group experience you will move toward the ultimate healing of interpersonal forgiveness and grief.
The Recovery Group is limited to 10 male and female participants. It is led by two professional counselors experienced in working with survivors of trauma and well-formed in the Truth of the Catholic faith. All Truth is God’s Truth. If you are not Catholic yourself, the tools you will learn in this group will help you to move you forward in Truth on your journey to peace.
The deadline for registration is July 14.
