About this meeting
The session will be focusing on discussing the concepts of defusing your thoughts. To create a willingness for change, it can be of benefit to let negative thoughts come and go rather than holding onto those thoughts. Defusing your thoughts can take away their power and not allow them to affect your everyday normal. Through discussion and practice, the group will discuss various types of cognitive diffusion techniques and provide opportunities for personal support and reflection.
About the host
I serve as a facilitator for the Washington State TBI Support Group Program. In this role, I strive to provide a safe, inclusive, and equitable environment for individuals to seek the support they need. My goal as a facilitator is always to put the needs of the group members first, above all else.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Support Groups

Washington State

 

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Strategic Partnership Advisory Council of Washington State provides Support Groups through the Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) that emphasize connection, education, and engagement in life after sustaining a TBI.

 

Our Support Groups are predicated on the concept of a person-centered approach that can aid in the development of long-term knowledge and generic problem-solving skills to help attendees overcome barriers to sustaining a fulfilling life.

 

These Support Groups may provide a therapeutic effect, but they do not provide therapy and instead focus on delivering organized bodies of knowledge and resources for the betterment of attendees.

 

The group rotation will consist of scheduled groups of one to two per week. Each group focuses on a specific topic geared towards individuals who have sustained a brain injury, their families, and providers.
 
*Please note, groups with "Private" in the title are for specific groups and are not open for public entry.

*Closed captioning is offered at indicated sessions.
