Grief & Shame group
People often struggle with the aftermath of significant loss - whether due to bereavement, relationship breakdowns, or other life changes - and may simultaneously experience debilitating shame. This 6 week group works to validate these emotional experiences and help members understand how grief and shame can interact, reinforcing each other. In this safe, confidential space participants can express deep-seated emotions without judgment. Members learn to articulate their painful feelings, explore how these emotions impact their self-worth, and begin to integrate their grief into a broader sense of identity. By identifying and challenging self-critical thoughts, the group aims to foster self-compassion. It encourages participants to reframe their narratives, moving away from self-blame and toward acceptance and healing. The group format encourages member interaction, allowing individuals to hear varied perspectives, see that they are not alone in their struggles, and learn from others’ coping strategies. This shared experience can reduce isolation and validate personal feelings.

6-Week Understanding the impact of Intergenerational parenting group

The group aims to validate personal experiences and feelings of loss, anger, or confusion that often arise from childhood experiences with emotionally immature parents. Members are encouraged to acknowledge that many of these patterns are common and understandable responses to early environments that lacked attuned emotional support. Facilitated by licensed clinicians, the group provides opportunities for members to share personal narratives, learn from one another’s experiences, and foster a sense of belonging. This mutual support helps participants normalize their experiences and empowers them to make positive changes in their lives.
