Psychological Support Group on Deep Trauma and Life Scenarios

On March 29, another session of the psychological support group took place, dedicated to the topic of deep emotional traumas and their impact on a person’s life.

During the session, participants had the opportunity to explore how experiences of rejection, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal, and injustice can manifest in everyday behavior, influencing self-esteem, relationships, and decision-making. Special attention was given to recurring life patterns that are shaped by these traumas.

The group was held in a safe and supportive environment, guided by key principles such as confidentiality, mutual respect, a focus on personal experience, and the possibility to pause or stop participation at any moment.

The session consisted of several stages. It began with an opening sharing, where participants reflected on their current emotional state, followed by a theoretical part on five core traumas that can prevent individuals from being their authentic selves. The discussion also covered how these traumas contribute to the development of coping strategies such as avoidance, control, dependency, perfectionism, and self-devaluation.

The practical part included the exercises “My Dominant Trauma” and “Life Scenario.” Participants analyzed their personal experiences, identified recurring situations in their lives, and attempted to understand their underlying causes. This process helped deepen awareness of internal patterns and supported the first steps toward change.

The session concluded with a reflection and feedback round, where participants shared their insights and feelings about the group experience.

Such groups are an important part of psychological support, as they create a space for safely exploring personal experiences, developing self-reflection, and finding new ways of interacting with the world.
