Struggling with the impact of trauma can be isolating, and many people do not realize that others may be facing similar challenges. Group therapy can be a pivotal way to feel less alone while you learn and strengthen helpful skills to navigate relationships and regulate emotions during conflict.
Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation – or “STAIR” for short – is an evidence-based therapy designed to help those who have experienced traumatic events at any point during their lifetime be able to better understand and manage areas impacted by trauma, including areas related to our emotions and relationships.
TREC DC’s STAIR Group will be composed of 10 weekly sessions, with each group meeting lasting one hour. These sessions will be virtual, meaning that you can join from the private location of your choosing. Each week will focus on a different topic, and no one will be asked to share more than they are comfortable sharing.
Group sessions will be facilitated by Dr. Corinne Kacmarek, who has many years of experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma using gold-standard, evidence-based therapies. In addition, Corinne strives to provide holistic, collaborative, and goal-oriented approach that is grounded in principles of behavior change while also responsive to each person’s unique strengths.
Our STAIR Group will begin Wednesday, October 7th, from 7:00-8:00pm ET. Please note that while the group meets weekly on Wednesdays, there will not be a session the week of Thanksgiving on 11/25. We ask that those participating in the group commit to attending all sessions, with occasional flexibility for conflicts.
Cost for each group session is $50. Participants may be, but do not need to be, in individual therapy while they are participating in the STAIR Group.
The group is open to any adult (18+) located in a PSYPACT participating state, which includes DC, Maryland, and Virginia (along with most other U.S. states).
