What superpowers get you through it all?
For lesbian, queer, and sapphic adults who have endured sexual, psychological, physical, emotional neglect, and/or political or oppression trauma at any time in their life, are currently or recently in regular individual therapy, coaching, or a related healing modality, and hold a socially conscious and progressive framework.
This support group uses a strengths-based, skill-building, and glitter-filled format, incorporates a healing justice and trauma-informed lens, is neurospicy-aware, is body- and sex-positive, and is guaranteed to evoke laughter, tears, and kindness.

Trauma healing goals, personal strengths, assessing your resilience, identifying and managing triggers, emotional regulation skills, self-care, soothing strategies, building self-confidence, identifying your PTSD symptoms and healthy and unhealthy coping strategies, reducing shame and blame, and building empowerment and assertiveness skills. The group also discusses, through a queer lens, the current social-political increase of oppression and fascism, and its similarities to each person’s abuse experiences and triggers.

Complimentary 30-minute consultation. $60/session for 12 weeks. Two adjusted fee slots. Required intake appointment is $205. The group will have a maximum of 10 members.
