Women’s Interpersonal Process Groups

“Why are my relationships continually disappointing and unsatisfying?”

Yearning for deeper connection, you wonder why you keep holding back in your relationships. No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to open yourself up to intimacy.

Who can blame you? You’ve been hurt and betrayed before.

Or maybe you are beginning to see that you have gotten entangled in another relationship with the same hurtful patterns as before: your needs overlooked, your emotions invalidated. Perhaps you are even coping with emotional or physical abuse.

Our relationships with others impact our lives on every level.

A person’s capacity to establish and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships is key to a fulfilling life.

We are biologically wired for connection, and our interactions in relationships activate hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate everything from digestion and immune functioning to emotion regulation.

Because relationships are so central to our lives, they are a common topic discussed in therapy. The painful question that is often simmering beneath the surface of repetitive relational dynamics is, “How am I unknowingly training people to treat me as I have been treated in the past?”

Group therapy can lead to impactful, long-term change.

Relationship patterns often develop early in our lives and continue to repeat themselves until we pause to notice what drives those patterns and uncover ways to shift them.

This way of relating may have kept you safe in childhood but is no longer serving you as an adult.

Noticing your present-moment thoughts, emotions and urges in the context of group interactions can give you a lot of insight. It allows you to get clear on relationship dynamics and unconscious motivations that you may have been unable to identify in the busyness of daily life.

In our process groups, you will be able to identify relational strengths and build on them and relational challenges and heal them.
