Online: Help with depression, anxiety, trauma
This group is an open, drop-in group for everyone who deals with depression, anxiety, and trauma. As we can only become free from suffering if we walk through our emotions, I offer this group, where we will get to know each other. I work from an attachment point of view, using CBT and emotionally focused therapy and spiritual care. I am certified in trauma work. Should over time a core group develop, I would offer a set group for about 8-10 people. Please email me if you like to attend.
