-
This is a therapy group, not a book club. While each group is centered around a book related to trauma or healing, the focus is on guided self-reflection, narrative prompts, and group processing. The reading supports the work, but the healing comes through storytelling, witnessing, and being in community with others who share similar experiences.
-
Most Narrative Therapy Group Series run for 6 to 8 weeks, with 75-minute sessions held weekly via secure Zoom. Groups are capped at around 8 members to ensure intimacy and safety.
-
While it’s ideal to attend all sessions to build trust and continuity, we understand life happens. You can miss one session if needed—but we ask that you commit to the group as a consistent, active presence when possible.
-
Nope. Read what you can, when you can. Each week’s prompt and reflection is based on a chapter or theme, and you’ll be given the option to engage whether you’ve read or not. The book is a resource, not a requirement.
