Sexual victimization adversely affects the development of trusting, secure, adult relationships and, most often, creates lingering symptoms of fear, anxiety, isolation, depression, anger, and shame.

 

At Midtown MFT, we provide a safe and supportive healing environment for recovery of sexual abuse and assault. As Marriage and Family Therapists, we work daily with the outcome of unresolved abuse and are aware of the large numbers of survivors needing recovery services. In recognizing the destructive role trauma plays on relationships, we offer survivors a safe place to heal, both as an individual, and as a partner.

In addition to in-depth individual psychotherapy, we also offer healing through our weekly support group for female survivor’s and our Saturday workshop.

Reunion: A Weekly Support Group for Female Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Assault

If you are a survivor of sexual abuse, molestation, incest, rape, assault, sexual domestic violence you may benefit from this group. The group is dedicated to reuniting women with their sense of safety, their bodies, their inner peace, and their creative essential selves.
You can expect an invitation to tell your story in a safe, supported, open environment, and an opportunity to offer compassion to others, as they tell their stories. We will process shame and recover self-esteem.

We will help you to reflect on your dreams and nightmares, and to explore the ways in which your traumatic experience has influenced your relationships and way of being in the world. We will then offer suggestions for new ways of coping and teach you how to become your own safe refuge.

The group has 3 areas of focus:

The Past: Developing trust and safety, telling YOUR story, relieving shame, countering alienation, and witnessing.

The Present: Relating to others, exploring your relationships within and outside of the group, restoring intimate connections with yourself and others, remembering the wisdom of your body, your creativity, and your intuition.

Moving Forward: Reuniting with faith, living your beliefs, reconnecting with your spirit, and finding refuge in your body, both emotionally and physically.

In closing, we will prepare all group members to move from the group out into their lives, with all that they were reunited with, and with all that they created in the community of the group.
