Singles Group Therapy: for people who want to date better (Enrollment Closed)
Dating is really difficult. It is often a roller coaster of feelings from boredom to frustration, hurt and rejection, to deep insecurity and desperate loneliness. The pain of unsuccessful dating can feel utterly discouraging and even hopeless.
Humans are wired for intimacy. However, strategies that we develop early on to avoid getting hurt often become self-sabotaging behaviors. These behaviors often get in the way of finding lasting and meaningful love. It can be hard to see how our history with intimacy impacts our ability to navigate the dating pool.
WHO IS THIS GROUP FOR?
This group is designed to help single people better understand themselves in order to date with confidence and clarity.
The more you know about yourself, your priorities and your needs as well as what gets in your way, the better you will be at cultivating intimacy and partnership in your life.
Do you find yourself constantly dating the “wrong” people or not finding anyone who meets your needs? Do you jump in quickly or have trouble committing? Are you in and out of relationships or do you feel stuck sitting on the sidelines? Do you worry about not finding the “right one” and end up over extending yourself with too many dates? Does it feel scary to get close to someone or do you struggle to know how to get closer?
We designed this group specifically for people who are struggling with these questions and more when it comes to dating and finding love. As a male-female co-therapy team we bring a unique perspective to leading this kind of group.
This group is for single people of all sexual orientations, in their 30’s and 40’s and who are actively dating or thinking about dating and who are currently in individual therapy or who have had significant therapy in the recent past.
IN THIS GROUP YOU WILL:
Learn about your patterns around intimacy through feedback and interactions with group members
Redesign your understanding and relationship with intimacy
Get support for your dating life and difficult dating experiences
Learn and practice
communication skills that deepen intimacy and connection
navigating differences and having healthy conflict
being authentic by honoring your boundaries and needs
WHY GROUP THERAPY?
By participating in this group, members have a unique opportunity to uncover and better understand parts of themselves that are complex and often hidden. Connecting with the group and receiving feedback offers a unique opportunity to examine patterns that prevent you from getting the love and intimacy you long for, while creating new healthy approaches. Group therapy also presents a unique experience to get support from a collective of people.
