Goals of the group

The goal of the group is to connect with others experiencing heartbreak. A non-judgmental, open and safe space, to explore the change in your identity as an individual in a relationship and by yourself. Together understanding the struggles of moving on, self-care and developing a positive relationship with yourself.

Who is the group for?

This group is for anyone navigating the emotional, physical, and psychological aftermath of a breakup. Whether the separation was recent or still reverberating months later, this space is for you.
We understand that healing is not about ā€œmoving onā€ but learning to move with what hurts — at your own pace, in the presence of others who understand.
Each week offers a safe container to explore grief, identity, and self-restoration through a mix of somatic grounding, psychoeducation, reflective exercises, and optional sharing. The group is not intended to "fix" pain, but to honor it, normalize it, and begin a process of re-connection with the self.

Week 1: Acknowledging the Loss and Creating Emotional Safety

Objective:
To gently enter the group space, establish emotional safety, and begin acknowledging the breakup as a significant and layered loss.

ā€œWhat parts of my world fell apart with the breakup?ā€
– Explore the loss of identity, shared routines, emotional anchor, imagined future, or support system

– ā€œWhat have I come to understand about love, loss, and myself?ā€

– Group grounding to anchor into inner and outer support

  • Surely I lost someone very important and we will never be together and this makes me want to die every day but it would be so much worse if I was alone in this struggle.

    Nitya

More about Support Groups & Therapy Groups:

1. What is an online therapy or support group?

Online therapy groups or support groups are structured, therapist-led sessions where participants gather virtually to discuss and work on specific mental health or personal growth topics.

These groups offer a supportive environment and help members learn coping strategies and relevant techniques from the therapist. Participants offer each other encouragement, share advice, and provide emotional support, helping one another feel less isolated.

Participants in online therapy groups often experience improved mental health, a greater sense of connection, and enhanced coping skills. Group therapy provides structured guidance from a therapist, which can lead to valuable insights and personal growth.

One-on-one therapy is personalized, focusing solely on your needs, which can be ideal for in-depth, private work with a therapist.

Online group therapy, however, offers a sense of community and shared experience. In addition to learning from the therapist, members get to connect with others facing similar challenges. Group settings provide diverse perspectives and reduce isolation, which participants find valuable.

Yes, studies show that online groups can be as effective as in-person groups. The online format provides convenience and accessibility while offering the same structured therapeutic benefits, especially for those who prefer the comfort of their home environment.

Sharing is encouraged but never forced. Participants are free to share only what they feel comfortable with, and many find that opening up gradually is natural and helpful for their own growth.

The therapist leading the group is trained to manage challenging emotions. They provide tools and strategies for coping, helping participants process feelings safely.

Yes, many people find that group therapy superbly complements individual therapy, providing additional insights and social support, thus accelerating their healing. Also, users often join group therapy for a topic that they are not focusing on in their individual therapy sessions. Often, therapists themselves recommend their clients to group therapy for a specific area of their life.

If you’re looking for shared experiences and emotional support rather than structured therapeutic guidance, a support group may be ideal. Otherwise, consider a therapy group for a more structured approach.

You can also join more than one group if you feel it will benefit you, especially if each group focuses on a different aspect of your mental health journey.
