Trauma Support Group Forest Lodge (Term 2 2026)

Our Trauma Support Groups run for eight sessions, fortnightly. Two therapists look after and guide the group through a number of themes common to individuals struggling with a legacy of complex trauma. Topics for this term (the order of the below topics may change): Managing my Window of Tolerance – exploring potential triggers and grounding techniques. Responding to Needs – are you aware of your needs and how to meet them? Self-Care – discussing the challenges associated with self-care, and exploring and sharing self-care techniques. Family Connections – what contact, if any, do you have with your family now? How do you manage this? Overcoming the Relational Template from Childhood – what was your role within your family system? Do you find yourself re-living that role in other relationships/situations? Circles of Intimacy – How to safely navigate interpersonal connections after trauma. Celebrations in Trauma – Coping with the holiday season and catching up with friends and family. Facing Change – discuss different types of change, how they affect us and what we can do the help us cope.
