Join in community with caring, capable women like you who are grieving a life-altering loss and feeling like their own worst critic in the midst of it all.
In this therapy group, you will learn and practice practical, relevant, non-corny, evidence-based self-compassion practices that can help you to hold your own grief and love with the care you feel it deserves in your heart. This is a therapy group where you can learn to have a different relationship with yourself and your grief. By changing the way you relate to yourself and participate in self-care, you can intentionally move towards what you value meaningfully without cattle-prodding yourself forward with self-criticism or burning out. Self-compassion doesn’t mean falling on the couch and rotting there, or saying “yes” to literally every inner urge; self-compassion is a powerful relational stance which includes tender connection as well as fierce action, all in the name of, this is human. I am human. I am grieving.
Together we discuss, process, & build inner skill around:
How to understand grief, clarify the 5 stages model, and how to compassionately understand grief as a process
How to purposefully and self-compassionately cope with non-death losses related to what was, what was expected, and what could or should be here and now
How to self-compassionately hold mortality anxiety & a wholly changed life after loss
How to remain purposeful, intentional, and move towards what matters without spiritual bypass, emotional avoidance, or burnout
