"If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can't survive." Brene Brown
In lively, warm, engaging groups, group members explore and resolve the patterns that limit satisfaction in professional, peer, romantic, or family relationships.
Within a supportive and powerful environment, group members develop self confidence and skills to move beyond interpersonal challenges, self-limiting beliefs, anxiety, conflict and loss. In group, members explore and express feelings, reactions and concerns which have historically been silenced, and negotiate disagreements rather than avoiding them. Working through issues around boundaries, trust, communication and conflict, group members develop the skills to pursue meaningful personal connections, self-efficacy, and professional goals.
