Mindful Recovery from Trauma

This a group for adults who are struggling with the effects of a traumatic experience, (as defined by them). A diagnosis is not required. We support each other, learn the neurological effects of trauma, learn how to better cope with our symptoms, facilitate healing, and practice new coping skills.

In an effort to bring healing to the community, Anam Cara is offering an 8 week Mindful Recovery from Trauma Group. For anyone who is struggling with symptoms of trauma,(ie: agitation, irritability, hostility, hypervigilance, self-destructive behavior, social isolation, flashbacks, fear, severe anxiety, mistrust, loss of interest or pleasure in activities, guilt, loneliness, insomnia or nightmares) this group will provide you with support, encouragement, information and practical techniques to immediately implement different mindfulness strategies specific to calming the nervous system and coping with trauma.

This group is facilitated by Stacey Garcelon, M.Ed. Stacey specializes in helping people build resiliency and recover from emotional wounds. Stacey believes in providing a client-centered holistic healing environment in which people are empowered to discover and define their own solutions. All her counseling is trauma informed, culturally sensitive, and centers on the needs and identity of the person in the room. She is a current student of Yoga to Transform Trauma, and is exploring Somatic Experiencing practices. Through her work and her own healing journey, Stacey found that the approaches which integrated the physical, mental, energetic and spiritual impacts of trauma/anxiety proved to be the most effective and the most empowering. She sustains her own healing journey by incorporating complementary healing arts modalities into her daily life.
