Between Sessions is an 8-week online peer group for adults experiencing stress, anxiety, burnout, or emotional overwhelm. Designed as a non-clinical alternative to therapy, this group supports emotional regulation, self-compassion, and nervous system awareness. Ideal for those in therapy or exploring support for the first time, sessions include guided reflection, emotion mapping, and practical coping strategies. No diagnosis or disclosure is required. This is not group therapy, but a peer-led, trauma-informed space for connection, insight, and everyday mental health skills. No prior group experience is necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to explore together.
