Groups
Online Workshop for Survivors of Cults & Coercion
Since 2003 I have facilitated groups and workshops for former members of cults, coercive groups and relationships. These groups & relationships include political, religious, teacher-student, self-help, multi-level marketing, family, partnerships. Resources are sent prior to the workshop. Participants address relevant issues in their lives, current & past, gain support for healing from loss & trauma; learn successful skills; make sense of their experience, pursue individual goals. Topics include children born & raised, coercive influence and manipulation; red & green flags in relationships; personal rights; disconfirming inaccurate beliefs from ideologies; trauma & CPTSD; healthy & unhealthy groups & leaders; narcissistic abuse & protecting self; challenges; successes; self-care.

Online Motherless Daughters Group
Women who have lost their mothers in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood through death, illness, separation, or estrangement, address and explore relevant issues in their lives, current or past. Frequent themes include grieving/longing for a "good enough" mom, trauma, self-identity, relationships, work, trust, family of origin issues, challenges, successes, transitions, motherless mothers, self-care. Group is a time for mutual support, acknowledgement, validation, and better outcomes with opportunities for healing and growth. I developed and have facilitated motherless daughters groups since 1997 and my mother died when I was in adolescence.
