Support Groups & Courses
Personally and professionally, I’ve found group work to be essential to healing. Groups are a safe place for our community to connect, listen and learn from each other. While the details of our stories may differ, our felt experiences are similar and we can transform in the presence of others. I’ve created the following groups to provide you with a safe space to get the support you need, ask questions, get answers, learn from others’ insights, wins and ultimately realize you are not alone on your journey.
Come Out of the Fog and Into Your Life: Rewire Your Brain for Resilience and Joy
Next Session: February 26th, 2024
ENROLLMENT IS OPEN.
This 6-week healing course provides a unique opportunity for you to join other members of our adoptee community as we look at aspects of grief, separation loss, self and identity in relation to adoption and learn powerful ways to heal.
While much of this course can be completed at your individual pace, I will host a live call each week that you’ll have the option to join. You’ll also have the opportunity to interact with others enrolled in the course in a private online group.
We’ll discuss trauma and the body, implicit memory, the brain and the nervous system and the miracle of neuroplasticity: that our brains change throughout our lifespan and we have control over those changes! You will acquire useful resources and practical “hacks” to work with difficult thoughts and feelings. You’ll learn what coping skills from the past continue to be useful and which ones are outdated. We’ll work with the past while firmly rooted in the present. You will have the opportunity to connect with your authentic self as you begin to re-wire your brain for calm, clarity, resilience and joy.
