Chad Perman's Groups
Writing to Heal (Therapeutic Writing Group)
**Next group starts Summer 2020** Learn how to use expressive writing as a form of therapy, as well as a tool to help you better understand yourself, your experiences, and your relationships. Research has shown this type of writing offers a whole host of benefits: improved mood & well-being, reduced stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms, increased resilience, better sleep--it can even reduce blood pressure & increase immune system functioning! You don't need to have any previous writing experience to benefit from this group. An open mind, a pen, and a piece of paper are all you'll need.
Cinema Therapy
Movies can be incredible catalysts for growth, healing, and change. Cinema therapy is an expressive, sensory-based therapy that uses film as a therapeutic tool to help us better understand ourselves, our emotions, and our world. In this group, we meet weekly to discuss a specific film, exploring characters, images, and scenes, and reflecting on various thoughts and emotions each film evokes. Through supportive discussion & interaction with group members, you'll have the opportunity to increase your own empathy, mindfulness, and emotional awareness, discover new ways of thinking, and learn how to use movies as a tool for self-growth.
