Safe & Supported
A 2 hour in person Support Group for the Sensitive Women of this World.
You've been silenced for far too long. It's time for your voice to be heard.
Next Meet Up Tuesday 27/2/24 at 6pm-8pm
"A good support network accounts for the single most powerful protection against becoming traumatised."
- Bessel van der Kolk
Imagine this....
You've been forced to keep quiet for so long.
Somewhere along the way you have learned that it's better to be quiet than to speak up. You have felt too much for some people. You've never felt safe enough to express your needs....to anyone! They would always shut you down.
But now.......you are in a safe space with 4 other women, sharing experiences, sharing your pain, building deep connections with them and suddenly, you feel less alone.
You realise that you're not the only one suffering.
You feel seen. You feel heard. You feel validated and safe to express yourself. You've never felt like this before.
You've never felt this sense of connection with others. You feel like maybe your voice can finally be heard. Or maybe you can even trust someone enough to share some of your story with them. You have been silenced and shut down for so long, but you feel a sense that maybe, just MAYBE you can finally speak up because you have so much to say!
Maybe this is exactly what you needed!!
Do you want to share your STORY without the SHAME?
You MUST join this support group if you.....
Have felt shut down, silenced or ignored and have not been able to express yourself or share your story.
You’ve ever been told to “get over it”, “move on”, or that “it happened a long time ago.”
Crave deep connection with others over constant criticism.
You are craving deep, meaningful relationships and you’re tired of faking it.
Want strategies, skills and self-care instead of feeling stuck in the struggle.
You want to set up your own self-care ritual without feeling guilt, shame or like you're doing it wrong!
Want to learn how to protect yourself without hurting yourself.
You want to learn self-care & self-protection strategies without having your nails done or learning Tai Chi.
A gentle introduction to healing the wounds of your soul through community, connection and self-care.
Hey there, friend!
I'm Bethany......a mama of 4, highly sensitive soul, nurturer, trauma survivor turned Therapist, mentor + space holder for incredible women who are dead set on reducing generational trauma for themselves and their families.
Known for my gentleness, ability to hold space for others' pain, and my ability to nurture even the most broken, I write, talk and teach about trauma recovery, the fight of mental health and raising a future generation that don't need to heal from the pain you've suffered.
I've been in the arena for over a decade and have counselled + supported incredible women in their own trauma recovery and into healing through individual counselling, group programs, and my Heart of the Home podcast.
