UPCOMING GROUP THERAPY SESSIONS
WORKSHOPS
Reclaiming Your Body
Reclaiming Your Body is a workshop for individuals seeking to rebuild an empowered and accepting relationship with their body and all it has to offer. We are taught from such a young age to reject parts of our body through some pretty obvious, and sometimes not so obvious, messaging. We experience trauma, shame, and guilt that impact how we experience our bodies and that can leave us feeling lost, confused, and out of control. This workshop is for the individual seeking to understand better the body they have and find confidence in its uniqueness.
Here is a snapshot of some topics we will cover in this 6-week in-person workshop…
Addressing cultural messaging and stigma
Exploring the impacts of religious trauma, guilt, shame, and abuse
Understanding the impacts of trauma on the nervous system and the relationship with your body
Introduction to pelvic floor anatomy and dysfunction
Accurate and inclusive education related to sexual wellness and functioning.
Learn techniques and skills to build a personal relationship with your body and all its potential.
And so much more!!

SASS: Sexual Assault Survivor Support Group
We understand that healing from the trauma of sexual abuse, assault, and/or harassment can be a challenging and isolating journey. If you are a survivor seeking a safe and supportive space to heal, we invite you to join our Sexual Abuse Survivor Support Group.
The therapists at Aligning Intimacy Therapy are committed to providing a compassionate and empowering environment for survivors of sexual abuse. This group holds a place near and dear to my heart, and I feel incredibly honored and humbled by finally having the opportunity to launch its mission. Remember, healing is possible, and you deserve to heal, grow, and reclaim a life that aligns with who you are and who you want to be.
Here’s what you can expect from our SASS Group:
A Safe and Confidential Space
An Empathetic and Understanding Community
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Emotional Support and Validation
Tools for Healing and Growth
To reserve your spot or inquire further, please contact Emily at emily@aligningintimacy.com. We understand that taking this step might feel daunting, but remember that you are not alone. Please note that spaces are very limited (max of 6 group members) to ensure an intimate and supportive environment. We encourage you to reach out as soon as possible to secure your place in the group.
Burnout: Getting to Know Your Stress Cycle
Let’s be real, we live in a world that all but encourages burnout. Make sure you practice self-care, but don’t stop being productive, right? What even is self-care?? We love to tell people how much they need it, but are we helping them figure out how to do it? Self-care requires a village!
That is exactly what this group is about. Bringing together individuals who feel alone, lost, and just burned out. I’ve been there, I can live there if I let myself. I want realistic solutions as much as you do, and what better way to find them than by building our own tribe to relate, connect, and support one another. By finding what works for us as individuals, we can truly get to know our stress cycle and how to manage it. We will be using the bestselling book and workbook Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily & Amelia Nagoski. You may know the name from Come As You Are (a personal favorite and common recommendation of mine!)
The group will consist of six weekly virtual 1.5-hour sessions beginning on Tuesday, August 8th.
The cost is $40 per group session.
