ITRG - A Virtual Healing Community

ITRG - Level 1

Building Safety, Stabilization, and Basic Coping Skills

Creating a Foundation for Healing in a Supportive Online Community

Before diving into deeper trauma processing, it is crucial to establish a sense of safety, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. Level 1 is designed to help participants ground themselves in the present and develop essential coping tools—all while connecting with others who share similar wounds and understand the struggles of healing from incest trauma.

What to Expect

• A 9-week structured online program in a supportive community of women.
• Learning how trauma impacts the brain and body and how to cultivate a sense of safety.
• Developing tools for self-regulation, setting boundaries, and navigating emotions like grief, anger, and fear.
• Gentle reflection through writing and somatic practices to reconnect with the body.
• A focus on self-compassion and small victories in the healing journey.
• The healing power of connection - support from others who truly get it.
• A space to break the silence and share without shame, with others who understand.

Who is this for?

• Women in any stage of healing who want a safe place to begin or continue exploring their trauma.
• Those struggling with triggers, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected from themselves.
• People who want support and tools to build emotional resilience before deeper trauma work.
• Those looking for a community that understands their experience and can provide a sense of belonging.

FAQ

If you’re unsure, you’re not alone, many survivors wonder if their experience “counts” or if they’re ready for this kind of work. This group is for adult women (inclusive of trans and non-binary folks who feel connected to womanhood) who have experienced sexual harm within family relationships or close familial dynamics — even if it wasn’t labeled as abuse at the time. If you’re seeking a space that honors safety, gentleness, and connection while exploring healing, this may be for you.

Incest refers to any form of sexual abuse, assault, or coercion that happens within a family system or dynamic. This includes abuse by parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents, stepparents, and even close family friends or figures who held a trusted or familial role in your life. Whether it happened once or over a period of time, your experience is valid and worthy of care.

No one is required to share beyond their comfort level. The group focuses on healing, connection, and moving forward rather than retelling traumatic events.

Completely. Most people feel anxious about opening up in a group setting — especially around something as sensitive as sexual trauma. We spend time building trust slowly, and you're encouraged to take things at your own pace.

Yes. Confidentiality is a core value of this group. Everything shared in our sessions is held with deep respect and will never be disclosed outside the group. Group members will also be asked to agree to this shared commitment. Your safety, emotional and otherwise, comes first.

No. This is a support and psychoeducation group led by a trained facilitator. While it provides healing tools, it is not a replacement for individual therapy.

That’s okay! You are welcome to reach out for a consultation to see if this is the right time for you.
