If you are a therapist, especially one in private practice, you know how isolated you can feel at times. My colleague and I wanted to start a group to offer connection and support to ourselves and others with the added bonus of including creativity and artistic self expression into the mix as well, thus Creative Connections was born. Each session, we will create artwork based on a challenge that we would like to get some support or feedback around. Group participants will then have time to share their artwork and engage in discussion around their identified area of concern.

In this time-limited, 4-session women's group, members are invited to explore the stories they tell themselves and stories told to them by others, while learning how to make body sculptures using clear shipping tape. The process of body wrapping with others allows group members to process ideas about intimacy and personal boundaries in a safe place, as well as give voice to a new narrative that invites a deeper acceptance and curiosity about self and other.
