Holding the Therapist Mother

Parenting

This is a group for therapists (pre-licensed ok) who are also mothers to explore the intersections of clinical work, attachment and mothering, and who see this work as a spiritual path. We will use inquiry, mindfulness and writing as entry-points into rich discussion and deep support. Both silly and serious, this group taps right into the river of heartache and connection that flows beneath this work we do. Holding the Therapist Mother promises to become a source for grounding, authenticity and development in this wild terrain we navigate everyday.

Trauma Informed Yoga

Anxiety, PTSD, Sexual Abuse

This group will provide a container for people to come together and learn tools to safely feel what is present in their bodies. For folks who have experienced trauma, it is not uncommon to disconnect from what you are feeling and experiencing as a means of survival. Unfortunately, even when folks are in “safe” situations, our bodies can continue to believe it is more efficient to be in “survival mode”. Trauma-informed yoga can offer skills to navigate, and discern the present moment.
