We've all been told stories throughout our lives. Whether from our parents, our teachers, American culture, or relationships, we've inherently accepted some aspects of ourselves as "just the way we are." If you're stuck in the same kinds of relationships patterns within your life, recognize this, you still have a choice. The purpose of this group is to think and feel out-loud, bringing into light the narratives from the past that control our life presently. By doing this, we can change the narrative of how you understand and perceive yourself, others, and the world around you.
