You got very good at being someone else. It worked. That’s the problem.
Eight weeks on shame — the one place where being seen by the room, gently, is the medicine.
Shame is the quiet belief that if people really saw you, they’d leave — so you built someone easier to love and have been running them ever since. It works. That’s exactly why it’s so hard to put down.
We move gently and never force. We meet the inner critic, come close to the part that’s been hidden, and practice the antidote that isn’t self-esteem but something quieter: being seen, and staying.
From naming shame to coming back to yourself.
Groups run out-of-network and privately. Paying in full at enrollment holds your place for the whole series — and lets the group form as a stable, closed circle: the same people, from beginning to end.
A full refund if you withdraw before the first session. In the first two weeks, a prorated refund or a credit toward a future group. Once the group has formed, the remaining sessions aren’t refundable — the circle was built around your place in it — but if something serious comes up, talk to me and we’ll find a fair way through.
A superbill is available for possible partial reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. Whether a group qualifies depends on its nature, so it’s best to check with your insurance company.
Seats are limited to keep the group small and safe. Reach out — we’ll find out together whether this is the right next step for you, and there’s no pressure either way.
