Explore strength and meaning after trauma
Can healing go beyond surviving?
At Mind Therapy Clinic, we believe it can. The Post-Traumatic Growth Group supports individuals who want to move past survival and explore what’s possible on the other side of hardship—strength, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Many people assume recovery means “getting back to normal.” But for those who’ve experienced trauma, healing often means creating a new normal—one rooted in insight, resilience, and personal growth. This group offers a supportive, structured space to do just that.
What to Expect
This weekly therapy group is designed for adults who have experienced trauma and are in a stable enough place to reflect on their journey. You might still be navigating its long-term impact—changes in how you view the world, relate to others, or understand yourself.
Each session includes a blend of:
- Psychoeducation about trauma and recovery
- Reflective exercises to deepen insight and self-awareness
- Therapist-guided discussions focused on meaning-making, identity, and personal strength
You’ll be part of a small, confidential group where shared stories and thoughtful conversations help foster connection, compassion, and perspective. While no one’s path is the same, being heard and understood by others can be a powerful part of the healing process.
Themes we explore include emotional resilience, core beliefs, values, and how new purpose and growth can emerge from adversity.
Why It Matters
Healing isn’t just about what happened—it’s about what comes next. This group is about recognizing the ways trauma may have shaped you, while also opening the door to transformation. Participants often find themselves feeling more grounded, empowered, and hopeful.
