Thrivers Is and Is Not

---

Thrivers is a therapy group open to women* dealing with the effects of a traumatic event such as:

• Sexual assault or harassment

• Childhood abuse or neglect

• Medical trauma, such as surgery or disease

• An accident

• Suicide or unexpected death

• Witnessing an accident, crime, or catastrophic event

Even though most of us have experienced trauma, or multiple traumas, in our lives from the past, this group focuses on present time positive change.

Thrivers is:

A healing circle

A confidential space

A safety net

A support team of other women who understand

A place to integrate powerful somatic and cognitive behavioral tools 

A mindfulness container where we learn breathing and simple mind-body techniques

A circle to help us cope with the world and live more zestful lives

A group to challenge our thinking and behavioral patterns

A time to practice healthy communication

Thrivers is not:

A place to vent without change

A place to hash up, review, repeat, re-enact the trauma story

A place where our valence of vulnerability is harmed 

A place to increase your PTSD symptoms

A place in which there is no trust

A place where we can’t trust ourselves to say no, to respond, to be ourselves

It is not mandatory to tell our story in Thrivers. We don't encourage a re-hashing, although stories may emerge when participants are ready. 

We encourage concurrent individual therapy. 

Go from Trauma to Triumph and RECLAIM your JOY! We each will discover a place within us that has never been hurt, abused, or neglected—or that has the capacity for resilience and reclamation.
