What can an intensive trauma recovery group do for you?
You don’t have to face trauma alone. A new treatment option is available in the Pikes Peak region, offering a gentle, medication-free way to ease symptoms and build supportive connections.
Experiential group therapy uses role-playing and guided action. Studies cited below show it can help reduce symptoms of PTSD, depression, and other mental health concerns.
Trauma-focused psychodrama helps people work through traumatic memories using symbolism, movement, and guided action. Research suggests it may be as effective as standard treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
It may also improve positive emotions, life satisfaction, and self-compassion for people experiencing depression.
Improvements in PTSD, depression, and anxiety have been observed within 8 to 20 sessions. Results can vary depending on each person’s needs, session length, and facilitator experience.
These groups are led by trained facilitators and licensed clinicians with over 5 years of experience and more than 3,000 positive outcomes among group participants. The program includes traditional psychodrama and “Two Chairs” approaches.
Each group session lasts 3 hours and is designed to be more affordable than many individual therapy sessions, $150. Before joining, participants complete preparation and orientation with a trained clinician.
The session for July 24, 6:00 to 9:00 PM currently has openings.
To schedule a free orientation, call or text (719)301-6131.
