Group Support
Taking Back Control Group
Taking back control group is an 8-week programme with structured sessions over 2 hours. It involves reflection, discussions, activities. It is an opportunity to learn from each other. What we cover includes:
- Week 1 – Group Contract/ Beliefs, Values and Attitudes/ Attachment
- Week 2 – What is Sexual Violence/ What is the impact of Sexual Violence/ Barriers to Disclosure
- Week 3 – Understanding Shame
- Week 4 – Understanding Shame & Guilt/ Responses to Trauma/Victim blaming/ Control
- Week 5 – Understanding Intrusive Thoughts
- Week 6 – Relationships/ Intimacy/ Acceptance & Self-compassion
- Week 7 – Building Assertiveness & Resilience
- Week 8 – Final reflections
To develop a safe and consistent group experience the group is ‘closed’ which means that new members can only join on the first session. Numbers are limited to 14 participants. It is important to note that this is not therapy – you do not have to share experiences with the group. This course provides psycho-education to help you understand and overcome the impacts of abuse.
