What we’re about
This group is designed for those for those experiencing CPTSD symptoms, and who have read, or who are reading the book "Complex PTSD, from surviving to thriving," by Pete Walker. Anywhere from a few paragraphs to a few pages are covered each week, depending on how much discussion there is on any give section. Participants are asked to share how they relate to what was read and avoid directly commenting on what others have said, or asking direct questions. This allows for a more relaxed setting.
While there are no limits to the number of times that anyone can share during the meeting, please limit your comments to 3-5 minutes per share so that everyone has a chance to speak. Also when commenting, please speak in the first person, using "I" statements instead of "you" statements as we are primarily sharing our own experiences and insights, and not advising." Our intention is to create a group setting for support and connection, a place to safely express our thoughts and feelings. Our focus is on post-traumatic growth.
Also for those wanting to learn more about how to utilize the teachings of Pete Walker in everyday life... On Thursdays at 7pm:
