Creating Change Group: A Welcoming Space for Healing, Growth, and Connection
Creating Change is an inclusive, supportive group based on the principles and practices of Creating Change: A Past-Focused Treatment. This group is open to adults of all identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences. It offers a gentle, affirming space for anyone seeking healing, reflection, stability, or meaningful change.
We honor each person’s story, pronouns, and sense of self.
You are welcome here exactly as you are.
Together, we combine reflection, processing, and supportive dialogue to help you explore past experiences, understand patterns, and begin building a healthier, more empowered future—without pressure, judgment, or expectation.
In this group, you’ll explore key themes from the Creating Change model:
Trauma and Addiction: Understand how trauma and addiction developed over time, honoring your survival instincts and personal defenses.
Personal Narrative: Learn to tell your story, deepen it, and gain new perspective on your life. We explore memory, emotion, and the balance of “darkness and light” within your experiences.
Resilience and Growth: Honor your survival, accept your emotions, and take pride in your recovery. Focus on growth beyond past pain, and cultivating strengths for the future.
External Influences: Examine how family, community, and culture have shaped your life and experiences.
Self-Understanding: Connect with your body, clarify what you want others to understand, and explore power dynamics in relationships and life experiences.
Specific topics covered in the group include:
- Honor Your Survival
- Break the Silence
- Darkness and Light
- Tell Your Story
This structured, past-focused approach provides guidance while allowing space for personal reflection, discussion, and growth.
Additional Group Resources
Participants will have access to a course page with:
- Handouts and worksheets to support reflection, healing, and growth
- An introduction video to help orient you before your first session
This lets you review materials at your own pace and deepen your experience between sessions.
Our time together is about creating small, meaningful shifts that support lasting change. You don’t need to have everything figured out. You simply need a willingness to show up as you are—your story, your identity, and your pace are all welcome here.
