"a social mirror"

"next thing you know, I'm out here crying & finding myself"
"Saying the Unsaid was an unexpected treat! I didn't expect to feel so many emotions and get so riled up with a bunch of random people on Zoom. I just thought it would be a fun experience to not have to filter myself, perhaps call a few people out on their bullshit, and crack a few crazy jokes. Next thing you know, I'm out here crying, finding myself, connecting with people who I'd never think twice to talk to in real life, and realizing that I'm not alone. Sarah & Vanessa totally knocked it out of the park with this idea and I would highly recommend this group for anyone who is down to learn." - Group Participant
"things I would consider taboo or too dark...& embarrassing normally"
"I loved being a part of this group. I was surprised by the deep parts of my past that I ended up sharing, things I would consider taboo or too dark/embarrassing/shameful to share normally. And when others in group shared similar type things, I appreciated and valued them more, not less. I hope to use this experience in my life moving forward, to open my mind and heart to more honest sharing and deeper connection. <3" - Sarah

"take (talk therapy) for a test drive in real time"
“Starts awkwardly, even annoyingly, then grows to both vulnerability and discomfort, where your participation shines a spotlight on yourself that is both humbling and freeing. Gratitude and piqued interest to continue with more sessions came by the end of three sessions. From my experience, it strikes me that 1:1 talk therapy helps with cognitive understanding and initial re-patterning of dysfunctional wiring, and somatic therapies start recalibrating the nervous system, whereas group process therapy takes some of those good results for a test drive in real time with real people. Treat yourself to a personal stretch!” -Tim
