Welcome to another episode of Relational Trauma SOS, a H.E.R. Wings Unfold production. In this heartfelt and hopeful conversation, host Jeni Brockbank shares the story behind the creation of TS-12 Anon—the first trauma-sensitive 12-step program specifically designed for individuals impacted by 4-A behavior: another’s abuse, addiction, adultery, or abandonment.

This episode introduces TS-12 Anon’s purpose, who it’s for (and not for), and how it differs from traditional 12-step models. Jeni also shares exciting updates, dreams for the future, and an encouraging discussion with her friend Lynn, who offers her perspective on the power and promise of trauma-sensitive healing.

In This Episode:

• Why TS-12 Anon is revolutionary for survivors of 4-A behavior

• How H.E.R. Wings Unfold is reimagining healing with dignity, affordability, and community

• Who TS-12 Anon is for—and important clarifications on who it’s not for

• The current TS-12 Anon meeting schedule (3 virtual groups and growing!)

• How to find or start a meeting at ts12anon.org

• Ways to bring TS-12 Anon to shelters or support groups, including bulk pricing options
