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 phenomenological 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.
