recovery from recurring sexual abuse

Sat, May 16 | 7:30PM - 8:30PM UTC
I´m a trained sharewell facilitator and may set the group rules. Throughout the meeting, you have to be physically present, for some min. is ok. Those who arrive too late, I cannot repeat the class nor can I answer all questions regarding the material not do I work with a book. Regular attendance is highly recommended. Pls SIGN OUT if you can´t make it, I offer this for free and could use the time for myself too. Personal attacks and junasked judgements are prohibited since I do this free and at my best knowledge, I reserve the right to expell. Those who never sign out on many occassion might be silently removed from the re-attandence list. NO CROSSTALK OR UNASKED ADVICE like 12 steps meetings. This is not a debatte course and safety for all is crucial. This is not a "stell your story talk group´, it´s rather a practical skill training or written exercises on given topics from my further studies. If you don´t want to put in hard work and think talking is enough, this active group isn´t for you. Pls those who said attend to be present and stay in the room during the whole session. The group takes place with 3 people at minimum. This is a practical skills groups with share not a only share your story group. Regular attendence is needed, I read other questions next week and can´t go back for each new comer. If you miss just seldom a class, I can help you catch up though. i´d give weekly a topic to be discussed after I explain it, we stick to the topic and I also do live exercises or give them as homework. Conditions are to be safe from the abuser, and have non-suicidal active thoughts. I can´t take in women in abussive relationships at present, since recovery without exterior safety is impossible and it would give a bad example to those who want to work on themselves.I tend to work as a coach not as a therapist. Key Concentration Areas: Reclaiming the "No" (The Physicality of Boundaries): Moving past the verbal "no" and into the physical energy of a boundary. Exercises on what a "protective stance" feels like in the muscles.Somatic Discernment: Learning to distinguish between "strong chemistry" and a "nervous system alarm." Often, trauma survivors mistake high-cortisol (fear) for high-dopamine (attraction). Healing the Freeze/Fawn Response: Practical ways to take action during the freeze response Chronic Pain & The Shield: Exploring how chronic pain, anxiety disorder, adictions might be linked to the body's attempt to protect itself, and how to create safety without the pain having to do the work.

Topic context

Understanding boundary setting

Establishing and maintaining boundaries is crucial for emotional well-being, yet many people struggle with it—especially in relationships where guilt, fear, or obligation play a role. Peer support sessions on boundary setting allow participants to practice assertiveness, hear how others have handled similar challenges, and build the confidence to protect their energy and values. Knowing others have your back makes boundary setting feel less lonely and more empowering.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with boundary setting

Peer support helps with boundary setting because guilt, fear, and people-pleasing often make limits hard to hold alone. A group can help people feel less selfish for having needs and hear how others are practicing clearer, more sustainable boundaries.
