Description

Week 3: Connecting with my Inner-Child: Let’s Get to Know the Little Girl WithinThe postpartum period is confusing, exciting, exhausting, and overwhelming for women, men, and families. Overnight, identity has shifted, roles have changed, emotions are heightened, and sleep is nonexistent. These changes can deeply impact how people connect to themselves and others. Becoming a parent affects identity, body image, self-care, communication, coping, and connection. Couples suddenly adjust to the new roles of mom or dad and have to re-learn their relationship with one another. This is a time period that often is not discussed; however, it can lead to significant mental health issues and possible major marital issues if ignored. One of the goals of this group will be to help normalize some of the common struggles that moms experience. We will meet two evenings a month, and each week we will explore a different topic. There will be an education/skill-building portion of the group, an experiential component, and time for processing, sharing, and check-ins. Hopefully, this group will help foster a sense of community, encourage goal-setting and follow-through, and improve communication, self-care, and coping. The ultimate goal would be to help moms improve their relationships with themselves and others. There will be different skills taught and practiced and the opportunity to connect. Come join the “MOMMUNITY.” Topics: This group will have rotating topics.Time: 6:30pm - 8:00pmCost: $50Dates: 2nd and 4th Monday of Every MonthUpcoming SessionsWeek One: I’m Important, too: Learning to Reconnect with Myself Week Two: I’ve Got Something to Say: Identifying and Communicating my Emotions and Needs Week Three: Connecting with my Inner-Child: Let’s Get to Know the Little Girl Within
