KOKOROPOT is a peer-led mental health support group where we come together to heal, connect, and grow. Our focus is on supporting those who have experienced childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or Complex PTSD (C-PTSD).
C-PTSD often stems from ongoing difficult experiences, such as chronic neglect or abuse during childhood. If you’ve been through this, you don’t have to face it alone—we’re here to support each other with understanding and care.
In our meetings, we explore Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help us navigate our emotions and find balance, and Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to build deeper, more compassionate connections. But don’t worry—you don’t need to know anything about IFS or NVC before joining! We’re all learning together at our own pace, in a supportive and welcoming space.
No matter where you are on your healing journey, you are welcome here.

Emotional neglect, alone, causes children to abandon themselves, and to give up on the formation of a self. They do so to preserve an illusion of connection with the parent and to protect themselves from the danger of losing that tenuous connection. This typically requires a great deal of self-abdication, e.g., the forfeiture of self-esteem, self-confidence, self-care, self-interest, and self-protection.
