The Gift of Loneliness, Helplessness,
and Shame in Healing PTSD
The structure of contemporary life brings us into contact with people all the time. Yet, being surrounded by people is no assurance of any real connection. In fact, never before have we as a culture experienced such loneliness, alienation, and separation.
To escape our feelings of loneliness we often throw ourselves compulsively and anxiously into frenetic activity, or search for someone or something to make us "unalone." To defend against our feelings of helplessness we attempt to control people places, and things. We become addicted to shame with the hope that it will protect us from a painful truth.
This six session Art Therapy group will offer a safe haven for men and women who want to retreat from their everyday lives to begin validating and expressing their feelings of loneliness, helplessness, and shame.
This group is specifically designed for men and women who want to own and befriend the ignored, forgotten, neglected, and suppressed and/or repressed aspects of themselves.
This group will also make use of:
Excerpts from the writings of Rilke, Nouwen, Kerkegaard, Nietzche, Tillich, Moustakis, Rollo May, and more.
