You’ve figured out a lot on your own.

SMALL GROUP THERAPY IN-PERSON AND ONLINE FOR ADULTS RAISED EMOTIONALLY ALONE.

There was no obscene trauma, so why is there is a such strong struggle and sense of feeling disconnected.

This is not a character flaw.

It's a structure with a name and a solution.

This heals differently

This is called Emotional Neglect.

You might recognise it as forever wanting a different relationship with your parents, feeling like you’ve had to practically raise yourself, being both self-reliant and insecure.

Healing isn’t as straightforward as a memory you can revisit and reframe.

Developmental trauma (which is what emotional neglect is) is stored as prediction, an assumption your psychology formed long before you had language for any of it.

The assumption your psychology runs goes something like this: Being fully yourself isn't safe. Other people aren’t safe.

You didn't decide to believe these things. You learned them.

And because it lives in the body and nervous system, below conscious thought, merely understanding it doesn't dissolve it.

But experience does.

In group therapy, the required healing experience is happening continuously.

  • To not be preached at. Not to be given a sloe of tools to manage your grievances.

    You will, get better at knowing what you feel in real time.

    You'll have the experience of being genuinely seen by other people and having what you bring in honoured.

    You'll develop a much more safe, intimate and guiding relationship with your body.

    You'll understand your relational patterns not just intellectually but experientially, because they'll show up live in the group, and we'll work with them in real time.

    And you'll share these experiences alongside others you can relate to.

  • You’re a good fit if your relationships with others, yourself, and your work feel overly complicated and like a fight.

    Who is not suitable for group?

    If you’re a in active crisis.

    If you have active intense flashbacks, severe dissociation, inability to stay with difficulty. Somatic group work will activate the nervous system. If you are not in a place to be self-trusting, this group is not suitable for you.

    If you have no awareness or foundation of self-reflection whatsoever.g The group process requires a basic capacity to observe yourself while you're in it. Without capacity for self reflection, there is a tendency to intellectualise everything defensively or get overwhelmed, which costs the group dynamic.

    If you cannot commit to the full course. Consistency is crucial for the container and for your individual progress.

  • Hi! Im a ACA registered counsellor with experience leading group therapy internationally and locally. I have worked exclusively with acute and abstract developmental trauma for the past 5 years. I have trained in world class therapeutic modalities, such as IFS, CBT, ACT, Psychodynamics and Somatic Experiencing. Complimented by my training is my personal journey with deep trauma, taking my internal world from one of density and tension to one of genuine delight for life and all it encompasses, and gratitude that I am who I am to experience it all. My own transformation, and that I have seen of many clients, allows me such passion for supporting individuals to cultivate radiance from the inside out.
