Emotion Regulation II:
Addressing the Inner Critic
Address Trauma-Related Beliefs
In addition to the impact on your nervous system, trauma can deeply affect your belief systems and the ways in which you relate to yourself. For example, shame-based or threat-based beliefs and automatic thoughts might become a bigger part of your inner monologue. Building upon our introductory trauma skills group, this series will focus on identifying trauma-related beliefs and developing new, more mindful and compassionate ways of relating to difficult internal experiences.
Each session will provide tools, experiential exercises, and psychoeducation to help you transform your relationship with your internal world and your inner critic. Participants will learn and practice strategies from Compassion-Focused ACT (CF-ACT) and EMDR and will explore themes including compassionate thinking, acceptance, willingness, and values. Worksheets, slides, and meditation recordings will be provided.
This online group, led by Dr. Talya Vogel, will meet for 8 weeks over Zoom on Thursdays from 6pm to 7:15pm EDT beginning January 26th through March 23rd.
Dr. Vogel will be joined by guest teachers Dr. Laura Silberstein-Tirch and Dr. Dennis Tirch during components of Compassionate Mind Training. Cost is $125 per session.
