When Trauma Lives In The Body — And Healing Needs Safety

Many women don’t struggle because they lack insight or strength. 

They struggle because trauma has lived in their nervous system

Shaping how they cope, connect, and survive.

You may notice: 

  • Chronic self-blame or shame 
  • Difficulty feeling safe in your body 
  • Patterns of emotional numbing, over-functioning, or dissociation 
  • Trauma-driven coping behaviors or addiction patterns 
  • Confusion around intimacy, boundaries, or self-trust 

This group exists because trauma healing for women often requires both safety and shared understanding.

*Trauma heals best when safety comes first.*

What The Trauma Recovery Group For Women Is

A therapist-led, trauma-informed group for women healing from trauma

Support for trauma-related patterns, including addiction-related behaviors.

This group focuses on: 

  • Nervous-system regulation 
  • Shame reduction 
  • Trauma education 
  • Emotional safety 
  • Reconnecting with the body 
  • Developing healthier coping and relational patterns 

This is not a skills class or a support chat.

It is a structured therapeutic group grounded in trauma-informed care.

*Safety and structure allow real healing.*

This group may be a good fit for women who:
  • Have experienced trauma, chronic stress, or relational wounds 
  • Notice trauma-driven coping or addiction patterns 
  • Feel disconnected from their bodies or emotions 
  • Struggle with shame, self-criticism, or secrecy 
  • Feel isolated in their experiences 

You do not need to share everything to belong here

Listening and presence are enough.

*You don’t have to carry this alone.*

Trauma, Addiction, And Women’s Survival Patterns

For many women, addiction-related behaviors are not about lack of willpower

They are about survival.

Trauma can shape patterns such as: 

  • Emotional numbing 
  • Compulsive soothing behaviors 
  • Over-attachment or avoidance 
  • Difficulty regulating emotions 
  • Struggles with boundaries and intimacy 

This group approaches addiction-related patterns through a trauma lens

Not a moral or shame-based one.

*Coping patterns make sense in context.*

What This Group Supports

Women in this group often work toward: 

  • Increased nervous-system regulation 
  • Reduced shame and self-blame 
  • Greater emotional awareness 
  • Stronger boundaries and self-protection
  • Healthier coping strategies 
  • Improved self-trust 
  • A safer relationship with their bodies 
  • Deeper connection without pressure 

Healing happens gradually

At a pace your nervous system can tolerate

*Regulation creates capacity for change.*

What This Group Is — And Is Not

This group IS: 
  • Women-only 
  • Trauma-informed 
  • Therapist-led 
  • Structured and paced 
  • Supportive of addiction recovery 
This group IS NOT: 
  • A couples group 
  • A disclosure group 
  • A replacement for individual therapy 
  • A place for graphic storytelling 
  • Crisis stabilization 

Different healing needs require different containers. 

*The right container protects healing.*

How This Group Fits With Other Services

The Trauma Recovery Group for Women often works alongside:

  • Individual Trauma Therapy 
  • Addiction Recovery Services 
  • Clinical Hypnotherapy 
  • Trauma-Informed Breathwork 
  • Medication Management (when appropriate) 

Group work does not replace individual care

It strengthens it.

*Integrated care supports deeper healing.*

Group healing works best when paired with trauma informed individual support. 

Group availability may vary by cycle. 

We help you choose the safest, most effective starting point.
