Functional Somatic Psychotherapy is a new group being offered by Abby Hurley. This group supports learning different body-based strategies with an emphasis on their different purposes and how to know what to do when to support showing up, opening up, and moving forward in compassion and life-giving ways. Perfect for clients who struggle with significant activation when they come in contact with internal experiences that are distressing for them (such as trauma, dissociation, anxiety, or high sensitivity) This group will run for 12 weeks on Fridays at 9am in our Wheaton office beginning Jan 20.
Join this group to cultivate the skills to be present with painful emotions and connect to what truly matters. Through somatic approaches, mindfulness, and experiential exercises, you'll learn to: - Develop greater body awareness and emotional regulation - Practice self-compassion and self-awareness - Enhance resilience and coping skills - Foster meaningful connections with yourself and others This group offers a safe, supportive environment to explore and deepen your understanding of yourself and your emotions. No prior experience with somatic approaches is necessary.
This group is part of an ongoing series of core groups. Please reach out for information about concurrent and future group offerings. The Heritage Center for Values Based Living seeks to engage individuals in the acceptance and change skills needed to face what feels impossible and discover what truly matters. We recognize that this journey is a unique one and seek to provide our clients with the individualized plan that journey requires. Each person’s work at Heritage starts in a consultation with a member of our team where we will assess one’ treatment journey, goals, and then tailor our individual, group, assessment, and collaboration options to meet their needs. This is particularly valuable for individuals who may be transitioning out of higher levels of care or seeking higher levels of support while navigating demands of day-to-day life.
