About group therapy

 

Group therapy provides a space to explore reactions and projections to other members, being curious about memories and experiences that arise that may hold emotional beliefs and expectations about others and the world. It explores the methods of protecting the self, negotiating trust and intimacy in relationships with others, and advocating for boundaries and safety in the shared space. It balances both sharing vulnerability and being a source of support for other members. 

 

Group therapy encourages that members be aware of themselves in the moment, including their response to each other and their own evoked memories, beliefs, and emotions, and be willing to share those reactions with honesty within the shared space of group therapy.

About fatherhood group

 

The fatherhood group reflects on themes related to male caregiver identity. This includes areas of masculinity and male identity, as well as social and cultural messages about fatherhood, especially as they interact with the emotional intimacy of a caregiving relationship with your child(ren). It explores lessons and beliefs from trans-generational parenting and experiences with families of origin. 

 

The unique dynamics of a fatherhood group allow distinct opportunities to process relationships and communication, as well as emotional exploration, connection, and expression. These are likely patterns enacted with the self and others, including informing parenting and co-parenting relational dynamics and methods of communication. The fatherhood group provides an environment to explore these (and other) factors as they spontaneously arise within the security of therapeutic relationships.
