Goal of the group

This group offers a safe, steady, and compassionate space for anyone living with the effects of long-standing emotional hurt or difficult early life experiences. Together, we work on understanding patterns shaped by trauma, strengthening coping skills, reconnecting with the body, and building supportive relationships. Through guided practices, reflective exercises, and facilitated discussions, participants move toward greater self-trust, resilience, and emotional balance.

Who is the Group For?

This group is for anyone who has experienced difficult or overwhelming events in the past that continue to affect their emotional life, relationships, or sense of self. It is meant for individuals who notice patterns like people-pleasing, emotional shutdown, self-blame, or feeling easily triggered, and who want a safe space to better understand these reactions. Whether you’ve been carrying long-standing emotional pain, faced challenging childhood experiences, or struggle with trust and boundaries, this group offers a supportive environment to explore healing at your own pace. You do not need prior therapy experience, just the willingness to show up for yourself and be part of a compassionate community.
