Health Anxiety Group (in person and virtual)

$0.00
Sold Out

This 6-week trauma-informed yoga group is designed for individuals who experience health anxiety, persistent worry about bodily sensations, or a sense of estrangement from the body shaped by fear, uncertainty, or past experiences. From a psychodynamic perspective, health anxiety is understood as a meaningful response to internal threat, loss, or vulnerability that has found expression through the body.

The group integrates gentle, choice-based yoga practice with clinically informed reflection to support a more curious, compassionate relationship with bodily experience. Rather than attempting to eliminate anxiety or control sensations, participants are invited to notice how bodily states emerge, shift, and resolve, and how meaning, memory, and affect may be carried in physical experience. Attention is given to patterns of hypervigilance, catastrophic interpretation, and the pull toward certainty or reassurance as understandable adaptations rather than failures.

Yoga practices are slow, predictable, and trauma-sensitive, emphasizing containment, agency, and the capacity to remain present with sensation without immediate intervention. Over time, the group supports the development of greater affect tolerance, symbolic thinking about bodily experience, and trust in the body’s capacity for regulation and change. No prior yoga experience is required.

Group options:

  • In-person: Tuesdays at 12:00 PM

  • Location: 805 W.10th st., Austin TX 78701

  • Online: Mondays at 11:00 AM

  • Cost: $75 per session

  • Income-based spots are limited and offered by request at the time of consultation

Phone consultation to determine group fit is required prior to starting group. If you are interested in a consultation for this group, please register via this page or reach out to haberertherapy@gmail.com.

Trauma Informed Yoga Individual Session- In person ATX
Trauma Informed Yoga Individual Session- In person ATX
$175.00

This group will be in person at 805 W.10th st., Austin TX 78701. I am currently accepting participants to the group. An initial consultation is required for assessing fit for group therapy, as it provides an opportunity for both the therapist and the prospective participant to evaluate individual needs, concerns, and goals. This initial meeting allows the therapist to gather vital information about the individual's background, mental health history, and specific issues they wish to address. It also helps the participant to understand the therapy process, group dynamics, and expectations. If you are interested in a consultation for this group, please reach out to haberertherapy@gmail.com.
