THE POWER OF GROUPS: UNDOING THE ALONENESS
​
We offer extraordinary online and in-person specialist-led topical groups that cultivate a deep sense of community. Group work is one of the many ways we improve positive recovery outcomes. Aloneness causes detrimental behaviors that are meant to self-soothe. Through group work, we learn to co-regulate in healthy ways.
Our groups offer a powerful combination of connection to peers and mutual support with the bonus of a trauma-informed specialist to help guide and process whatever may come up in a meaningful and safe way. Clients are not as reliant on therapists and learn to trust and bond with those around them. They develop deeper healthy friendships, perhaps for the first time. This restores the innate ability to connect often wounded by trauma and addiction.
Connection restores the traumatized brain as we learn to look beyond our trauma lenses, cognitive distortions, and the frightening stories we tell ourselves about who we are and our potential. As we share our stories, we step out of our suffering and into a sense of being in it together. We can rebuild the template of co-regulation and connection within a safe group . Gradually we develop the ability to take that outside the group into our lives, redefining our experience of being with friends, family, and loved ones.
We are much more than a community of people seeking to recover from substance abuse issues and trauma, we are an incubator of ideas and entrepreneurship. We engage in the newest healing modalities, crowd-sourced ideas in healing perspectives, and innovations unavailable to those living separately or working on healing in isolation.
​
Connection is a key part of recovery. Other people understand you, care about you, and are rooting for you. When we can bond and feel the support of connection in safety it eventually becomes our new way of navigating life.

1:14 UNPATHOLOGIZING
You are a human being who has been affected by life, as is human nature- not a bundle of maladies, symptoms, and labels.

A vital part of healing. We wound in relationship; we heal in safe, stable relationship to others. As we learn this through groups, it translates outward to our lives.

Telehealth groups allow us to impact a broader spectrum of people who are isolated from the help and community they need- those with accessibility issues and those not able, ready, or needing to come into residential treatment.
