Becoming the Author of Your Healing

This group is perfect for individuals seeking a space to practice using both mindfulness and creativity throughout their healing process! ‘Becoming the Author of Your Healing’ is a narrative-therapy group that incorporates creative writing and group discussion to help individuals with finding empowerment, resilience, and hope in their unique lived experiences and identity. Every Thursday, this group will start with brief education on the benefits of narrative-therapy interventions to heal from trauma, shame, grief, and other struggles, followed by an introduction of a unique intention and writing prompt for that week. Group participants will then be led into designated time for each individual to write freely, and then are encouraged to participate in sharing reflections/takeaways from their writing experience. Although this group specifically uses writing as the main therapeutic tool, participants are encouraged to let go of any expectations or pressures for being “skilled” writers, making it perfect for those who want to be creative without criticism. This group is also great for individuals who may struggle more with participating in therapy groups that are primarily based on discussion.
