This 8-week group helps you stay steady when life starts to feel intense.

You’ll learn how to notice what’s happening internally, slow things down, and handle high-pressure moments without reacting automatically. The focus is on what to do in the moment—when things are building, not after they’ve already passed.

You’ll meet weekly for 1.5-hour group sessions where skills are introduced, practiced, and connected to real-life situations.

Between sessions, you’ll have structured options to continue practicing, along with the opportunity to check in once per week for added support and accountability.

Before enrolling, a brief consultation is required to make sure the group is a good fit.

May 7 | 6:00–7:30 PM
Week 1 — Notice the Moment
Pause long enough to recognize what’s happening internally before reacting.

June 11 | 6:00–7:30 PM
Week 6 — Choose Your Response
Slow the moment down enough to respond intentionally instead of reacting automatically.

June 18 | 6:00–7:30 PM
Week 7 — Get Through Hard Moments
Practice practical ways to move through stressful situations without escalating them.

June 25 | 6:00–7:30 PM
Week 8 — Find Your Rhythm
Bring the skills together so you can reset and return to steadiness when life throws you off balance.

This 8-week group focuses on how you communicate—especially in the moments that usually turn into tension, shutdown, or conflict.

You’ll learn how to listen without immediately reacting, notice the assumptions that shape how you hear others, and respond in a way that keeps the conversation from escalating.

The focus is on staying present in conversations, expressing yourself clearly, and not letting internal reactions take over before you’ve fully heard what’s being said.

Especially helpful for those who find themselves getting defensive, shutting down, or feeling misunderstood—and for parents working on talking with their kids, not at them.
