Group therapy is a powerful way to interact with multiple people who need similar information, education, or support. Through group therapy, a therapist can provide support, learning, and therapy to multiple people at once, while also allowing the group to help each other. This creates fantastic opportunities for collective learning, support, and knowledge that go beyond one-on-one therapy. Group therapy works especially well for topical learning, such as life skills, living with a disability, and parenting. By sharing insights, experiences, and unique opportunities with others in the group, you can make each other better and improve your lives together.
Starting: Early Summer
Cost: $25 per person, per session, or $40/per couple
A group specifically designed to provide Education & Support for those in relationships (couples) where one partner might struggle with chronic pain or disability and/or their caregivers (spouse/partner). Get your spot today!
Come alone or as a couple, and get the support you need
Do you struggle with chronic pain or disability and wish your relationship did not seem to focus on “IT?”
Are you a caregiver for someone with chronic pain or a disability, and you feel all you do tend to his/her needs?
Do you wish you had a place to learn how to be a couple again and an opportunity to process or get support for your struggles with this?
Do you wish your relationship would be more about enjoying things together again?
This group will include a time of education and learning altogether, then we will break into two separate groups: a support group for those who struggle with a disability and/or chronic pain and a support group for those who care for and support them. This second group time will be an opportunity to discuss things you may be struggling with in your relationship and ways to process those struggles. It also allows for time to process the educational information or allow for topics the attendees would like to discuss together.
Upcoming dates will be announced soon!
