"Trauma is not what happens to you but what happens inside you."

— Gabor Maté, The Myth of Normal

Does this story sound familiar to you?

They noticed it first in their stomach, that familiar knot of tension. A comment from their boss, casual enough, still carried the weight of an old, familiar voice—a parent’s, always expecting more, never quite satisfied. At home, their partner teased them about something small, like leaving coffee cups half-full, and instead of finding it funny, they felt themselves pull away, the way they often did when attention felt complicated. They apologized a lot—at work, in the grocery store, even once to someone who had stepped on their shoe. It wasn’t fear exactly, but a pattern, something ingrained from long ago. Most days, it felt like they were trying to stand steady on uneven ground. What they wanted most was to let go of the habit of bracing for something that wasn’t coming."

This story is only one example of how relational trauma shows up in our daily lives. If you can relate then Unbound is for you.

Unbound is an online educational group designed to help you uncover how relational trauma shapes your daily life. Through guided learning and practical strategies, you'll gain the tools to understand yourself more deeply, break free from limiting patterns, and create a clearer, more empowered vision for your life.

Whether you’ve experienced childhood neglect, toxic relationships, or other forms of emotional hardship, this group offers a safe, supportive environment to help you understand and begin to shift the patterns that may be holding you back.

Guided Learning with Expert Facilitation

Each session is led by a skilled therapist experienced in trauma recovery. You’ll receive clear, structured guidance on how relational trauma affects your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Topics may include how trauma impacts self-perception, communication, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. These insights will help you make sense of your experiences and provide a framework for growth.

Practical Tools and Strategies

The group is not just about learning—it’s about applying what you learn. Each week, you’ll be introduced to practical strategies to help you navigate the challenges that trauma can create in daily life. These may include:

• Grounding techniques to stay present in the moment

• Methods for identifying and breaking unhelpful patterns

• Skills for setting boundaries and cultivating healthy relationships

• Exercises to strengthen self-awareness and self-compassion

These tools are designed to empower you with actionable steps that you can use immediately in your daily life.

A Supportive and Confidential Space

The group is a confidential, judgment-free zone where you can connect with others who are on a similar journey. While participation is not required, many participants find comfort and inspiration in sharing their insights and hearing the stories of others. This sense of community can help reduce feelings of isolation and foster deeper understanding and connection.

Weekly Focused Topics

Each week, the group will focus on a specific aspect of trauma and recovery, such as:

• Recognizing the impact of relational trauma on your current life

• Understanding how trauma shapes emotional triggers and responses

• Exploring the connection between trauma and limiting beliefs

• Building resilience and self-trust as you heal

  
  These focused discussions provide clarity and allow for deeper exploration of key areas.

Personalized Reflection and Growth

While the group provides a shared learning experience, the journey is deeply personal. You’ll be encouraged to reflect on how the concepts and strategies apply to your unique experiences and challenges. Journaling prompts, reflective exercises, and optional homework will help you process what you’ve learned and integrate it into your life.

Creating a Vision for Your Future

As you progress, you’ll begin to move beyond the limiting patterns shaped by trauma and create a clearer, more empowered vision for your life. This group is about reclaiming your narrative, recognizing your inner strength, and taking intentional steps toward a life of greater fulfillment, connection, and freedom.
