Life in Balance
Posted on September 16, 2011 at 12:42 PM |
Finding a good support group is a great way to become more focused and centered as the amount of quality support you have in your life greatly affects your balance and happiness. Support groups are an inexpensive way of making more connections and learning; also a great way to work on becoming your best self, getting some relief from feeling disconnected, and the symptoms this bring ~ and yet much less expensive than individual therapy. Here are some of the support groups I'm currently offering. Feel free to call me if you have any questions about them! Group's offered:Women's Support Group Parkway Center, 2345 S. Huron Parkway, Ann Arbor, Michigan
First Sunday at 12pm - 1:30pm

to enrich the discussion. Self Esteem: A Family Affair Parkway Center, 2345 S. Huron Parkway, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Second Sunday at 12pm - 1:30pm
$20+ per session
Using easily accessible material from the book Self Esteem: A Family Affair, we will look at messages we got growing up;
and affirmations we are missing as well as how to give and receive them for
ourselves and in nurturing other family members. We’ll use psycho-educational material
at times for valuable information and to enrich the discussion. Intimacy ~ ‘Stage 2’ Relationships The Parkway Center, 2345 S. Huron Parkway, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Third Sunday at 12 pm - 1:30pm
$20+ per session Anger signals us about unmet needs,
limits and boundaries and helps us "find our voice" with the people
who matter the most. It informs us when
we need to "set things right" and shows us where we have painful
disconnections. Using material excerpted
from the books The Dance of Anger, and the Dance of Intimacy: ‘Courageous acts
of change in Key relationships’, we'll look at what we want in our
relationships, the process of changing our patterns in relationships, what
anger represents and how we expand our relationships to allow for more movement
and fulfillment. We will use psycho-educational material at times to enrich the
discussion. Re-establishing Nature
Connection to De-stress: The Parkway Center,
2345 S. Huron Parkway, Ann
Arbor, Michigan
Fourth Sunday at 12 pm - 1:30pm
$20+ per session "Interaction with
Nature is critically important to human well-being and development, but sadly
has become compromised and diminished in modern times. Through deliberate
design, this connection can be repaired and restored."
Kellert Modern life has truly
disconnected many of us from Nature. So it makes sense that from 75 to 90% of all doctor's visits are
physical illnesses related to stress and that the number of stress-related disability claims
by American employees has doubled. We’ll
learn how to be more aware of our relationship with Nature, and explore the use
of some simple tools for consciously making use of that connection to de-stress
and increase our sense of well being. |
