March 5 - April 9, 2024
Tuesdays @ 6:00pm
Why group therapy? Group therapeutic experiences offer a unique quality of support and connection that comes from being with other people who are experiencing the same things that you are. This support group will provide emotional support, validation, and education about people pleasing. Peer support through group therapy has been shown to reduce negative symptoms and increase wellbeing and personal growth. In group therapy, members can be agents of change for one another, as seeing and helping in others' progress can help you feel empowered in your own healing.
​
What can I expect? We meet together for 6 weeks. Our people pleasing support group will be a discussion-based group, with some teaching and homework as well. Essentially, this means that discussion amongst members about their own people pleasing journeys, or reflections on others shared journeys, will be the primary focus of our time together. At this time, this group has been created to accommodate up to 6 women who are currently navigating a personal people pleasing journey. Participants are screened prior to acceptance into the group. Prior to the first session, all members are required to sign a consent form.
​
Where, how & when? Each group session is held at 405 3rd Ave South in Stonewall, MB. The cost per session is $55, with a discount applied if payment is provided up front ($300). A workbook is provided to all participants free of charge. A superbill will be provided at the conclusion of the support group, which can be used for insurance reimbursement purposes.
​
Who will be leading? This support group will be lead by Damaris Bredin and you are welcome to reach out to her privately by emailing her, using the button below.
What will I get out of this?
While this will be a discussion-based group, we will have some direction in each meeting to facilitate conversation. We want this support group to be a safe place for you to freely express your emotions + experiences amidst other members who understand what you are going through.
In this safe space, it is our hope is that you will...
-
increase your own self awareness and openness to change/healing
-
strengthen your connection to yourself
-
shift priorities from pleasing others to positive, authentic connection with others and yourself
