Educational Goal
- • Incorporate therapeutic experiential, group processes into treatment programs.
- • Engage and bond groups, getting them out of their chairs, on their feet, and interacting with each other.
- • Provide a user-friendly way of incorporating embodiment through experiential letter-writing.
- • Warm groups up so their painful issues will emerge organically rather than feeling on the spot or forced.
- • Provide an experiential format to educate groups on the symptoms of PTSD that are made relevant to each group member’s life.
- • Follow up the exploration of cPTSD symptoms with floor checks expanding on, exploring, and unpacking individual symptoms or inner states.
- • Build emotional literacy and intelligence.
- • Heal through co-regulation and strengthen self-regulation.
- • Help bypass the kind of emotional resistance that can accompany trauma due to the natural defenses surrounding painful material that arise when working with it.
- • Break down embodied, experiential work into small, focused processes that can be easily incorporated into existing programming.
