ABSTRACT

Literature highlights the long-term effects of bullying and interpersonal cruelty, including symptoms of trauma and shame. Although scholars have encouraged the development of trauma-informed group interventions for adults with a history of bullying, they have yet to be developed. This article introduces The Creative Arts Personal Growth Group: Transforming Fear and Shame with Compassion, Courage, and Community (CAPG) and presents findings from a phenomenlogocial pilot study exploring participants’ experiences. Themes of containment, creativity, and community promoted regulation of symptoms and self-identity within the context of a safe, inclusive, and affirming group experience. Implications and recommendations are provided.

摘要

文献强调了欺凌和人际虐待的长期影响，包括创伤和羞耻的症状。尽管学者们鼓励为有欺凌史的成年人开发创伤知情的团体干预措施，但它们尚未开发。本文介绍了创意艺术个人成长小组：用同情、勇气和社区 (CAPG) 转变恐惧和羞耻，并介绍了探索参与者经历的现象学试点研究的结果。遏制、创造力和社区的主题促进了在安全、包容和肯定的群体体验的背景下对症状和自我认同的调节。提供了启示和建议。
