The Understanding Reactions workshop is a group workshop where clients learn about the impact of sexual trauma on their bodies, minds, and social well-being. The focus of the session is on the impact of the trauma, not the traumatic event itself. The workshops can be both online or face to face. 

This workshop hopes to explore reconnecting with your roots, your values and hopes and dreams through a creative activity.  The Tree of Life stems from a narrative therapy approach and focuses on storytelling. The first part of the workshop will be creating your own Trees of Life. We will then come together to create a Forest of Life with everyone's trees, and after lunch we will have an explorative talking space for us to think about the Storms that trees and we as humans experience and the impact of this.This full day workshop welcomes everyone and all trees (no previous artistic experiences needed!)

It is a small closed group facilitated by two therapists with the aim to create a sense of safety together and explore how to manage trauma. You will be invited to engage in creative activities. The group meets for 75 minutes at the same time for 4 weeks. Session 1 - how to feel safe, window of tolerance, grounding and empathy, emergency box Session 2 - creating contained and safe space to manage difficult feelings of shame Session 3 - how to cultivate self-worth and re-frame time, visualising the past, present and future Session 4 - self-care, going back to basics; food, mood and movement
