What to Expect at Our Women’s Mental Health Retreat: Hope Restored
Laughter…connection…the faces that had downcast eyes due to shame, now are lifted and lighter…these are some of the things that are etched in the canvas of my mind after the Hope Restored women’s intensive. The freedom that we witnessed occur over the course of 3 days was amazing. Life after trauma can feel like a balancing act—juggling responsibilities while quietly carrying the weight of pain, anxiety, and exhaustion. Many women long for a safe space to rest, reconnect with God, and begin healing in community. The Hope Restored Trauma Healing Intensive was created for exactly that purpose—a weekend retreat for women seeking emotional restoration and renewed spiritual strength.
This women’s mental health retreat combines trauma-informed therapy with Biblical truth and compassionate support. Whether you’ve walked through loss, betrayal, abuse, or another painful life event, Hope Restored offers a sacred space to pause, breathe, and rediscover your worth and identity in Christ.
What is a Trauma Intensive?
A trauma intensive is a focused therapeutic experience that helps you process emotional wounds and begin healing more deeply than weekly therapy allows. Unlike traditional counseling, which unfolds over months, an intensive provides several hours of guided work each day—accelerating insight, growth, and transformation. Our intensive also offers connection with other women who are on similar paths and truly understand the journey. Community is key to healing.
At Hope Restored, each day is thoughtfully structured with a mix of individual therapy, group therapy, expressive activities, rest, and reflection. Guided by licensed Christian therapists and a life coach, you’ll receive personalized care and evidence-based tools grounded in grace, compassion, and Biblical wisdom.
If you’ve ever wondered what is a trauma intensive and how it differs from a typical retreat for mental health, imagine it as a sacred container—one where you can safely explore your story, connect with others who understand, and leave with tangible steps toward freedom and wholeness.
