Virtual Day of Recovery

Saturday, May 17th, 2025
11am-5pm

Please join us for a Virtual Day of Recovery—a dynamic and experiential workshop for the diverse community of women and non-binary folks who have experienced sexual abuse, assault and trauma.

The Virtual Weekend of Recovery is an opportunity to heal and connect from the comfort and safety of your own space. Without the need to travel, you can show up fully as yourself—free to be both vulnerable and powerful. In this private, supportive environment, you’ll forge genuine connections with fellow survivors and TBO’s experienced facilitators, share the parts of your story that need to be heard, and know that here, you will be believed.

You will utilize mindfulness, body work, movement, art, journaling, and truly great music to learn new skills that can help you feel safer and more grounded as you continue to work on your recovery. You will have a chance to tell the story of your abuse with the safety and support you deeply deserve. But most importantly, you can create a community and establish what it means to be safe with others and within yourself.

This event will accommodate a maximum of 24 participants and 6 facilitators. This ratio of specialty facilitators to participants in small groups is a powerful adjunct to recovery. Each member of the TBO team brings decades of experience and skill with survivors of trauma, utilizing the same clinical boundaries and code of ethics as adopted by the American Psychological Association. The Day of Recovery strengthens participants' ongoing recovery work with individual and/or group psychotherapy, twelve step programs, and spiritual work, and is not meant to be a substitute for the participants' local support systems that are consistent with their own recovery.

When you apply:

You will be contacted by one of our TBO facilitators for a pre-Day of Recovery interview. They will help assess what you need to feel safe and comfortable as you participate, about your hopes and goals, and what brought you to TBO.  

During that interview, we assess if this is the right event for you. It is important for you to know that no one with a sex offender history can apply. If this is a part of your story, we will be happy to help you find the right resources for you.

The interview will also be an opportunity for you to ask questions and get a feeling for what’s ahead. If you are in therapy, you will be asked to give your therapist the attached document to sign as a letter of support. As the Day draws closer, you will hear from us about what to expect throughout the day and how to prepare. 

After the Day:

Alumni join the vibrant family of TBO and build a support network. You will have the opportunity to keep the fire burning with support and opportunities to grow in a strong community, empowered and connected to one another and to yourself in new and vibrant ways. You will also be invited to attend Advanced events, which will build on the work you do during this Virtual Day of Recovery. 

This is a no-cost event. Simply complete the registration form below and a member of the TBO team will be in touch to schedule your interview. Please reach out to support@takingbackourselves.org with any questions.
