Trauma Focused Support Groups in Whitby, ON

Breathwork is the therapeutic practice of intentional breathing. It is a holistic therapy modality used to promote a stronger mind-body connection, develop deeper self awareness and explore introspectively. This event has been carefully curated to provide you with a safe and welcoming space to dive deeper in to self awareness and release what is no longer serving you. The event includes intention setting, guided conscious connected breathing, reflections and integration. This event is for all experience levels, whether you practice breathwork regularly or this will be your first time.

When our emotions feel too big for the spaces we are in, it can cause us to feel out of control or like we don’t belong. This experience is so confusing because we didn’t choose to have big emotions! We become so desperate to stop the pain that we go to great lengths to feel relief. Sometimes that ends up being through conflict with the people around us, substance use or self-harm. I want you to know that you don’t have to go through it alone anymore. I work with adults, teens, young adults and parents who are looking for meaning change.

In this small group we will use writing as a tool for healing in a safe and supportive virtual community space. Using writing prompts (eg. poetry, prose, imagery) drawn from various artists you will be guided gently into your own inner world of emotion, inquiry, memory, and imagination. We will write together to find our voices, explore what limits them, create inner-safety for their emergence, and give each other courage through community. No previous writing experience is necessary. We are all writers and story-tellers by virtue of our humanity. PLEASE NOTE: This group is facilitated by our amazing psychotherapy intern Allison Oke.

Life often brings challenges that feel overwhelming, whether it’s grappling with self-doubt, healing from past wounds, or struggling to feel connected with others. Perhaps you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, or the complexities of identity, and it feels as though you’re adrift, searching for a place of calm amidst life’s waves. I believe that while pain is an inevitable part of life, suffering doesn’t have to be. Together, we can work toward finding an anchor—a sense of peace and steadiness—even in the midst of life’s storms.

At Chapters Counselling Services, we believe that Life is a journey, and the compass with which we navigate the different stages (Chapters) of our lives are embedded in our thoughts and emotions. The destination of life’s journey for everyone is in finding their purpose. There are times in this journey when we feel overwhelmed by life events and situations, and navigation appears difficult. Those are the times we need a therapist to help us make meaning of those thoughts and emotions to enable us to find the path to fulfilling our life’s purpose.
