It doesn't matter if you left the military three months ago, three years ago, or thirty years ago. If life since service still hasn't fully settled, this group is for you. Maybe sleep is off, you miss the people you served with, or part of you is still on guard.
What this group can do for you
- Hard memories that feel lighter and take up less of your day
- Less time on edge, and more room to rest
- Grounding tools you can use anywhere, long after the group ends
- People who get it, so you don't have to explain where you've been
- Real progress in a few weeks, with a clear finish line
You're a fit if you can say yes to these:
- I'm a veteran of any branch, or I'm getting ready to leave the military
- Something from my service, or from leaving it, still weighs on me, no matter how long ago it was
- I live in Maryland or Virginia
- I'm ready to work on it, at a pace that feels safe
Not sure? Join the waitlist anyway. The screening call is where we figure it out together.
How it works: G-TEP is EMDR done in a small group, led by Dr. Jordan. Each person works on their own memory privately, on a worksheet, so you don't have to share details out loud. It meets online, runs as a short series with a clear start and finish, and starts with a quick screening call.
The results: in Dr. Jordan's past trauma recovery groups, members' PTSD, anxiety, and depression scores went down and their resilience scores went up, measured before and after. Those groups brought together Vietnam and Desert Storm veterans, a military spouse, and a widow. Different wars, different losses, and each person worked on their own memories side by side, without telling their story out loud.
- Insurance billed through Headway
- Self-pay: $45 per session, if you don't have insurance or would rather not use it
- A military spouse and partner group is planned next
Groups open once enough people join the list. Joining is free and doesn't commit you to anything.
