Major goals of the TIG include:

• Increased self-compassion

• Increased ability to regulate trauma-related affect

• Enhanced coping skills

• Increased capacity for safe relationships

This group is open to female-identified adult survivors of interpersonal trauma (e.g., emotional/physical abuse or neglect, sexual abuse/violence). Group members are required to be in individual therapy at least twice a month during the group and must be willing to sign a release between individual and group therapists.
