SUMMARY:POTS Support and Skills Group for Women
DESCRIPTION:This virtual therapy group is for women and assigned female at 
 birth (AFAB) (aged 18+) with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardic Syndrome (al
 so known as POTS). Once thought to be a rare condition\, POTS is becoming 
 increasingly more identified in women aged 18+ and is a chronic health con
 dition impacting many aspects of life. In POTS\, the autonomic nervous sys
 tem (responsible for regulating breathing\, heart rate\, blood pressure\, 
 digestion\, and temperature regulation) becomes dysregulated\, causing sig
 nificant changes in functioning and frequently significant pain. I have at
 tached some additional info regarding the group in the additional document
  attached.\n\nPOTS is particularly challenging because its symptoms often 
 resemble and drive anxiety disorders and panic attacks\, and is only now g
 aining the attention it needs in practice in research.It notably has a hig
 h concordance with anxiety\, panic\, health anxiety\, ptsd\, Autism\, and 
 other medical issues including Ehlers-Danlos (a joint hypermobility disord
 er) and MAST Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS\, a disorder wherein an indivi
 dual experiences allergic or anaphylactic reactions from a number of sourc
 es\, including stress and heat\, and also has a sudden onset)\, as well as
  other autonomic disorders\, cardiac and autoimmune conditions.\n\nThe gro
 up will meet for six weeks initially and focus on psychoeducation\, grief 
 and processing ability changes with sudden onset diagnosis and its functio
 nal challenges\, stress reduction and management strategies\, accommodatin
 g life and environment to mesh with a POTS diagnosis\, lifestyle choices a
 nd changes\, as well as strategies for communicating needs and boundaries 
 with loved ones in a safe and inclusive peer environment.\nWhen: Every Mon
 day from January 6-Februaury 10th\, 2025 from 12:30-2pm EST (6 weeks)\nWho
 : Women and assigned female at birth (AFAB) (aged 18+) with Postural Ortho
 static Tachycardic Syndrome (also known as POTS).\nWhere: Secure zoom link
