Healing Happens in Community
Healing Happens in Community. Join our CPTSD Support Circles—a compassionate, therapist-facilitated, peer-led space designed to recover nervous system regulation, build inner resources, and foster a real sense of belonging and community.
*Note: This is a peer support group, not clinical therapy.
Common Challenges We Address
Complex PTSD often leaves us feeling fragmented and alone. Our circles provide a space to navigate the specific hurdles of complex trauma recovery.
The Weight of Isolation
​
CPTSD can make you feel like you're the only one experiencing these symptoms. We break that silence through shared stories
Emotional Dysregulation
Navigating intense emotional waves or 'flashbacks' is exhausting. We share grounding techniques and mutual support for the hard days.
The Harsh Inner Critic
​
That voice of toxic shame can be deafening. In the circle, we practice self-compassion and hear the truth from others who understand.
Relationship Difficulties
Trauma often shows in relationships, and it heals in relationships. We provide a safe 'practice ground' for authentic connection.

The Weight of Isolation
Learning to feel safe in your body and with others is a slow process. Our structured environment prioritizes safety and boundaries.

What to Expect in Your Circle
Walking into a new group can be intimidating. Here is exactly how our sessions are structured to ensure everyone feels safe, heard, and respected.
A Gentle Openening
​
We begin with a brief grounding exercise to help everyone arrive in the space and leave the day's stress behind.
Briefly introduce yourself and share with the group any topic you would like to have discussed
Introduction and Topics
​
Facilitated Peer Group Discussion on Topics
​
We offer empathy, validation, and resources. We focus on 'what worked for me' and our own expereinces rather than giving unsolicited advice.
Safe Closing
We end each session with a focus on self-care, what you left the group with or what you want to give to others and a reminder we are walking this path together.

Disclaimer
Support Circles are not therapy and do not take the place of individual therapy or mental health treatment. While these groups are designed to foster community, connection, and shared support, we will not be engaging in trauma processing, diagnosis, or clinical interventions. Participation in a Support Circle does not establish a therapist–client relationship. If you are in need of individualized mental health care, please seek the guidance of a licensed professional or sign up for a consult to speak with one of our therapists here.
