Are you facing a challenge related to divorce and rebuilding post-queer divorce? Whether you're grappling with the emotional turmoil of your decision, navigating new relationships, coping with the complexities of co-parenting, or feeling paralyzed by post-divorce decisions, you're not alone. In fact, we all encounter what psychologist Christopher Germer calls the "disillusionment" phase during significant life changes, be it due to grief or growth.
During this time, it's easy to believe that you'll never feel better. This murky middle stage is a common thread in many divorce experiences, and it's normal to cycle through it multiple times throughout the divorce and rebuilding process. But there's good news – self-compassion and peer support can guide you through this period, helping you emerge from the murky middle with less pain.
In addition to the group discussion, this Support Group includes an optional trauma-informed breathwork session led by Candace Lefke, a queer breathwork facilitator. Breathwork is a somatic practice that uses intentional breathing patterns to help reduce stress, release stored emotions, and reconnect with your body. Whether you're looking to ground yourself, release tension, or explore deeper emotional healing, this practice is an excellent way to support your overall well-being in a safe and inclusive space.
Join us as we come together in this Queer Divorce Club Support Group to support one another during this challenging time. Sharing our stories and acknowledging our shared humanity can foster a sense of interconnectedness, alleviating the isolation that often accompanies suffering.
The Queer Divorce Club is an inclusive, judgment-free space where everyone belongs, regardless of how they identify or the reasons behind their divorce. During the session, we will together set ground rules and discuss how we can best support each other, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with others who understand what you're going through. Let's navigate the murky middle together and embrace our evolving selves with compassion and community.
