hear me out!
Group psychotherapy is a clinically effective, evidence-based form of analytic therapy. Many people think it's 6 people "having a little bit of therapy in front of each other." I have no idea what that is - but it's not group therapy.
Proper group therapy is a deeply supportive and safely held space in which the 6-8 group members share what's on their mind. The group conductors then help the group to explore the themes that this generates. People consider new thoughts & begin to see themselves differently. They actually start to feel better.
I've run a group for over 5 years and the results are real.
I understand that you might feel frightened of group work. Our groups are safely held by two psychotherapists and the open-ended group is in-person.
Groups can help you heal from family trauma.
Group therapy is clinically effective for most people and most issues, but not all. So to join our weekly group, you'd need an assessment.
12-Week Group For Women Struggling To Conceive
This is an online therapy group programme for up to 6 women who are struggling to conceive. The group will be a safe, understanding space in which to share; and the focus will be to (re)connect with our sense of purpose and creativity as women.
So many women find that infertility threatens their stability, & undermines their identity. They come to doubt that they were always and continue to be a woman who wants to make her own unique contribution.
Over the 12 weeks we will focus on:
1. The 3 core psychological processes of loss & grief; sense of self or identity; and navigating life-transitions.
2. Our relationships & the impact of our family on our boundaries.
3. Holistic (mind-body) health and exploring what really matters to us.
This programme will be conducted as a therapy group with a core focus. We will be able to support women to prepare for future trauma work, but the work itself will need a longer time-frame.
