What’s included:
6 monthly in person meetings: Making this group exclusive to clinicians is intended so each participant can “put down” their therapy hat and focus on receiving care. This is a place to be honest about how you feel without worrying a non-therapist will judge you or make assumptions about you.
Snack and drinks: This is time for you to receive high quality and trauma informed care. It is an honor to get to support you and I want to do that emotionally and physically- snacks allow me to do that!
Printed visuals: are provided to each participant to enhance the information shared verbally by Hannah.
Ruff House Print Shop journals: each participant will receive a journal at the first session. Please bring your favorite writing utensil to use with your new journal! These journals are designed and printed by a woman owned business in Lawrence, Kansas.
What you will learn:
Interoception skills: Interoception is the ability to receive information from your body. We will explore 5 different ways the body communicates and practice each one.
Purpose: Our personal reason “why”.
Emotion: Comfortable and uncomfortable emotions are neutral sources of information about how our body perceives our relationships and lives.
Abstraction: The experience of the 5 senses, real or in our mind’s eye such as memories.
Reaction: How we react to people and situations in our lives.
Location: Where we get visceral sensations inside our bodies.
Pendulation: This is a movement that happens naturally in your nervous system. You will learn what it is, why it’s important, how to track it in yourself, and how to track it in others.
Resourcing: This is essential in any healing work. It is the key to feeling in control of your emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. This skill will become one you use in your personal healing, but also in all relationships in your life.
How to feel your feelings: Using all of the above information to be able to feel your feelings in a safe, controlled way. This will allow emotions to move through your body so you don’t feel “stuck” in them.
