Healing Within | ACC Funded EMDR Group Therapy - Golden Bay
ACC Funded EMDR Group Therapy
A gentle, trauma-informed group programme supporting recovery, regulation and connection.
Healing Within is a six-session group therapy programme for adults with ACC Sensitive Claims who are recovering from the impact of trauma.
The programme offers a safe, structured and culturally responsive environment to begin trauma reprocessing, without requiring you to share or verbally disclose the details of your traumatic experiences.
Grounded in EMDR’s Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model and the Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (GTEP), each session combines psychoeducation, mindfulness, relational regulation and EMDR-based resourcing and processing strategies.
What to expect
Across the six sessions, you’ll be supported to build greater safety, stability and self-regulation. The programme may help you:
develop practical strategies for managing trauma responses
strengthen emotional regulation and coping skills
reduce symptoms associated with PTSD
improve day-to-day functioning
build confidence in self-care
feel more connected to yourself and others
Two experienced facilitators guide the group throughout, providing a supportive and contained environment as you work through the programme.
Who is this programme for?
Healing Within is designed for adults with ACC Sensitive Claims who are recovering from trauma and may benefit from a gentle, group-based approach to EMDR therapy.
You do not need to share the details of your trauma with the group. The programme is specifically structured to support trauma processing without requiring verbal disclosure.
