Hello Trauma - cPTSD Support Group

Welcome to the Self-Care Social Hour.

This is group is...

• A place to connect with others dealing with life in the shadow of childhood trauma and other bumps in the road
• A safe place to share our "wins and wobbles," as they say
• Somewhere you can get support (and offer support!) so you can return to the chaos of the "real world" afterward feeling bit more sane than when you arrived

How it all works:

• You can join any, all, or some of the MeetUps.
• We will meet once per week for about an hour.
• We will get to know each other slowly and aim to build rapport and trust over time.
• When we show up, we agree to say at the very least say, "Hi." and possibly turn on the camera. (Your call.) But at the very least, participate in some way that contributes to others in the group.
• We will be authentic, respectful, and gentle with ourselves and each other, both within the meetings and outside of the meetings.

Then, we will talk about self-care. I will start with a story or some ideas and suggestions before bringing the conversation around to inviting everyone to join in. I might ask a few questions, but nothing deeply personal or triggering. Mainly things like this:

• What is a self-care goal of yours?
• What does it feel like when you try to move toward that goal?
• What do you think is stopping you from meeting that goal?
• What is one step you think you can take toward that goal in the next week?

We will share and talk for about an hour, and then we will wrap up, maybe offer one another a few virtual hugs, and return to our week inspired, calmed, and ready to see if we can take that next small step forward.

Other Information:

It takes time and dollars to run this group! :) Your support is greatly appreciated, no matter the amount. Every dollar helps.
