TIME'S ALMOST UP! Are you longing to spend six solid months focused on your own healing, self-discovery and post-traumatic growth? If so, please reach out to me about joining REDISCOVERING ME 2026. We still have spaces open—and we have limited scholarship support for those who might need it.
Orientation Week begins this Friday 7/10, and our first live Zoom session begins next Thursday 7/16.
*****
REDISCOVERING ME: “Who Am I Beyond My Trauma?” is a six-month support group for female survivors of relational trauma: abandonment, abuse, addiction, betrayal, deception, divorce, infidelity and more. Within this group, we utilize material written by author, educator and advocate Heather Plett from the Centre for Holding Space. (You can learn more about Heather's work at www.centreforholdingspace.com).
This will be my SEVENTH cohort for Rediscovering Me, coaching more than 90 women through finding new identity beyond their experience as trauma survivors.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: I’m really sensitive to hearing other people’s stories. How does that work in this group? A: Unlike many support groups for trauma survivors, this group will provide minimal focus upon the preliminary stages of trauma recognition and recovery. By contrast, Rediscovering Me is deliberately designed to support women ready to “re-engage” life in a positive, productive and progress-oriented direction. We’ll do this against the big-picture backdrop of our shared experience as trauma survivors, but we won’t be exploring traditional recovery topics, trauma triggers, crisis intervention or relationship repair. By narrowing our focus in this intentional direction, we co-create a brave and empowering space where we move through and beyond our trauma, rather than remaining stuck deep within it.
Q: I’m working to reconcile with my partner in the aftermath of relational trauma—OR—I’m divorced, divorcing and/or separating—is this group for me? A: This group is for ANY woman who is ready to continue her journey beyond our experience(s) of relational trauma. This group isn’t about the people with whom you have (or don’t have) an intimate relationship. It’s not exclusive to women wounded by addiction or infidelity, and participation isn’t based upon your past, present or future relationship status. THIS GROUP IS ALL ABOUT US! Who are we, where are we, and how we can move forward with increased clarity and confidence.
Q: How big is the group? What if I’m uncomfortable interacting with other participants? A: We are limiting the group to approximately 15 participants in order to provide safe and manageable group interactions. We hope to create a space where you’re comfortable sharing about yourself, your insights and your experiences. However, there is no minimum requirement for group interactions, and YOU get to decide how much and what kind (if any) interaction you wish to exchange with your coaches and peers. You are welcome to make this journey as introverted or extroverted as YOU need it to be.
Q: How much time will this group require? A: This journey is all about you and your choices—and that includes how much time you invest in the group. Between each week’s readings, exercises and live coaching sessions, most participants spend one to three hours per week online/offline engaging our group offerings and environment.
Q: What if I don’t have Facebook? Can I still participate in the group? A: Yes, you may certainly still participate in the group! While most interactions between participants will take place within our exclusive Facebook space, our coaches will make every effort to send key content via email, in addition to posting it via FB. If you’re concerned about privacy on social media, we invite you to consider creating a completely separate, non-identifying profile exclusively for your activities within our group. If you want our help to do that, please ask!
Q: What if I can’t make the live weekly Zoom sessions? A: You are invited along on this journey, even if you’re not available on Tuesdays. For those who cannot attend live, we’ll encourage you to remain connected to us via our exclusive Facebook space. For your convenience, we’ll also record and share video from our weekly Zoom sessions; those videos will be available for you to watch through the end of 2026.
Q: Six months is a big commitment. What if I bite off more than I can chew? What if I get overwhelmed along the way? A: Six months IS a lot of time, isn’t it! That said, life takes time to process in deep and meaningful ways. Most of us spent YEARS getting lost in the context of relational trauma, so rediscovering ourselves won’t happen overnight. During these six months, we’ll pause frequently at strategic intervals: to catch our breath, to review our goals, and to reorient ourselves for the next stretch ahead. We’ll help you absorb and integrate what you’re learning and how you’re growing. We’ll support you if you need to disengage from the group temporarily, and we’ll encourage you to reengage when you’re ready. You’ll also have access to the material indefinitely, so you can revisit it later for future reference. Please remember that we do not refund registration fees for non-participation; we will invoice you for your second payment, even if you choose to withdraw from group interactions.
Q: What if I can’t afford the registration fees? A: Limited scholarship assistance is available; if you need it, please ask!
Q: Can I join after July 15? If I don’t register now, will I have a later opportunity? A: To preserve the connection we nurture as a group, Rediscovering Me will officially close on July 15, 2026, with no new participants accepted after that date. If you miss the registration deadline but would like to join a future group, please email Rae at [email protected]. In the meantime, you may wish to purchase The Spiral Path (as a self-paced course) at www.centreforholdingspace.com.
