New CCS Groups at Open Door

We’re happy to announce two new group offerings for CCS consumers here at Open Door: Yoga as Therapy and the Open Door Book Club. Both lead by Maureen Grosse.

 

Yoga as Therapy

 Each week participants will strengthen, lengthen, and relax muscles through various styles of yoga. Somatic Experiencing and DBT techniques will be introduced and explored to learn how to identify, experience, and manage thoughts, sensations, and emotions effectively.

Open Door Center for Change Book Club

We will start with the book “Becoming Aware: A 21 Day Mindfulness Program for Reducing Anxiety and Cultivating Calm” as a guide to engage in a mindfulness practice to build awareness of the breath, mind, and body. 

We will meet each week to describe our observations of our experience in non-judgmental ways and provide support in establishing an individualized mindfulness practice. Supportive DBT and Somatic Experiencing skills may be taught and integrated throughout the sessions for distress tolerance and emotional regulation as members participate in daily/weekly exercises.
