 Psychotherapy Group Wednesday Evenings 6.30 – 8.00pm
Starting 17th September 2003
The group will focus on understanding the impact of abuse in childhood and adulthood by exploring the individual's attitudes, values and definitions of abuse. It is open to women only. This group will offer participants an arena for personal development in a safe environment where individuals can work on their healing and recovery from abuse in the context of their relationships with themselves and others. Although no one can change events that have occurred, participants will be encouraged to explore their relationship to abuse and shift the way they relate to it in the present. We can change our relationship to our experiences, how we relate to them and what meaning we imbue them with in the present whilst integrating the impact they have on our lives. Themes covered may include:
The group will utilise various creative ways of working including creative writing, projective art, role-play, and visualisation. Members will be a catalyst for the content of the work Venue and Time: The group will run over 3 terms of ten-week duration beginning Wednesday 17th September 2003, then on consecutive Wednesday evenings 6.30 – 8.00pm in Highgate (Tube Northern line).
