“We need others to bear witness to our deepest longings, our greatest joys, our most painful shame, and all the rest in order to have any sense at all of ourselves.” ~ Curt Thompson
"Confessional Community" Story Work Group
This group is for anyone wanting to be truly seen, known, and be in a "safe enough" Christian faith community to really share our stories and unpack the things with which we are struggling. If you are familiar with Curt Thompson's "Confessional Communities" or Adam Young's Story Work, then you already understand the flavor of this group. If you are unfamiliar with these popular models, check out their podcasts, Being Known and The Place we Find Ourselves. We are trained in both models and include elements of both while also utilizing other approaches including Attachment Science, Internal Family Systems, and Polyvagal Theory. In this group, each person will share a part of their story and receive support and feedback from the rest of the group and leaders.
Wednesdays, 9:00am ~ 10:30pm (also forming groups for other days and times)
Frequency: Weekly
Cost: $60/session
Duration: 10 weeks (no group 11/27)
Time Length: 90 minutes

“Engaging your story is the single most important thing you can do to experience healing.” ~Adam Young
Recovering from Spiritual Harm Group
Whether it was a pastor, a church leader, other Christians, including our family members, many of us have felt hurt by people “in the name of God”. We are left sorting out Who is God? And, how do we heal from some of “Christian Culture” that is anything but Christian? How can we heal from those wounds and still find Jesus in the end? While the term “deconstructing” has been charged, many are struggling to untangle the hurt and disillusioned feelings left from unhealthy spiritual environments. If you need a safe place to unpack your experience with others going through the same thing but feeling just as alone as you, this is a group for you.
Day/time: TBD (We are currently forming groups)
Frequency: Weekly
Cost: $60/session
Duration: ongoing group
Time Length: 90 minutes

Therapeutic Book Club
Are you a reader of all things self-help? Do you read a good book but then don’t really know how to implement it? Does reading these books bring up (sometimes overwhelming) feelings and memories you aren’t sure what to do with? Meeting with other like-minded readers and a therapist to help handle the challenges that come up with the material is an amazing way to grow and internalize all you are learning. This type of experience in a group helps us get what we’re learning from our head to our hearts for real, long-lasting change.
Day/time: TBD (We are currently forming groups)
Frequency: Weekly
Cost: $60/session
Duration: ongoing group
Time Length: 90 minutes
