Emotion Regulation I:
Reconnecting to the Body
Foundation of Trauma Recovery
After experiencing trauma, many people find it hard to feel emotionally safe in their everyday lives. Even years after a trauma has occurred, challenging emotions and physical sensations can show up unexpectedly. Learning to reconnect to the body in the present moment with a felt sense of safeness is a foundational part of gold-standard, evidence-based therapy for healing from trauma.
Learn Effective Regulation Strategies
As the introductory skills group for our Trauma Skills series, this group will focus on developing techniques for effective emotional and nervous system regulation. Participants will learn specifics about how trauma impacts the body’s physiology, and will develop strategies for tuning into, slowing down, and compassionately relating to bodily sensations.
Psychoeducation and experiential exercises will focus on themes of distress tolerance, emotion regulation, safeness, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and compassion. Participants will learn and practice skills from evidence-based psychotherapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and EMDR. Worksheets, slides, and meditation recordings will be provided.
This online group, led by Dr. Talya Vogel, will meet for 8 weeks over Zoom on Tuesdays from 6pm - 7:15pm EDT beginning January 24th through March 21st .
Cost is $125 per session.
