Thank you for pointing out Boyd Webb's note about trauma-experienced people and groups. I'll go back and re-read. I guess it seemed to make sense to me at the time when I read it, but I agree with you there must be ways for effective use of groups and recoveries / integrations of the trauma experience, for group members. ...
A little bit of a blurb for a provider, so take this for what it's worth ... Phoenix Trauma Center, in Media, PA, has several groups they run for people who have experienced trauma(s) and are seeking to recover / integrate the experience(s) -- seeking to understand their trauma and put words to it.
I think the Phoenix team are talented -- two of the founders went to Bryn Mawr and one of the founders teaches courses here. I took part in a grief group at Phoenix, and I had a good experience.
(So I expect they've seen benefit in having groups for people who've experienced trauma.)
... I'll have to go back and re-read Webb to see what her issues were with trauma groups...
