The Power of Group Therapy
“I said to my body, softly. ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a long breath and replied, ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.’” –Nayyirah Waheed
Women’s Recovery Groups
Group therapy allows for people to heal in the context of empathy and compassion. With each group we hope to foster a safe container that provides ongoing community and accountability. Our Women’s Recovery process groups offer support to those in recovery in order to process struggles with regard to working toward/maintaining abstinence from harmful and addictive behavior cycles, processing core wounds and underlying trauma, and working toward self-acceptance.
Teen & Young Adult Women’s Recovery Groups
The power of group therapy is magnified in the teenage and young adult population. With the importance and priority of peer opinions emerging during the adolescent years, it is an excellent time to be surrounded with a like-minded and positive recovery community. Our Teenage & Young Adult Women’s Recovery process groups allow for recovery-focused peer feedback and family involvement to help support long term recovery goals and accountability.
Themes explored in group:
- Challenging negative body image and low self-worth
- Interrupting core attachment wounds that contribute to maladaptive relationship patterns
- Exploration of healthy, authentic adult sexuality
- Challenging negative cognitions that contribute to harmful and addictive behavior patterns, especially with regard to food, substances, relationships, and sex
- Accountability and solution focus/skills used to decrease and eliminate behaviors
- Exploration of social media and cultural norms surrounding thin ideals that can contribute to Eating Disorders and negative body image messages toward women
- Connection to difficult emotions and life events that contribute to maladaptive coping strategies
- Psychodrama/experiential modalities
- Meal support/outings
- Nutritional information to help move toward intuitive eating, intuitive movement and embodiment, and overall mental wellness
