Depression and anxiety can result in the world becoming smaller. It can be hard to find the energy to be around other people when feeling depressed. Anxiety can make going to the grocery or a family gathering overwhelming- too fast, too bright, too loud, too much! This leads to feeling lonely and disconnected from friends and loved ones. One of the most important ways to beat depression and anxiety is through connection. Isolation feeds depression and anxiety, but connection with others helps to defeat them!
Having a safe group of women who understand what it is like to experience these illnesses can really be extremely validating. In the Group setting, women heal while helping others heal through connection and being understood. This is the reason all Intensive Outpatient Programs use group therapy over individual modalities. Groups have the highest rate of efficacy. Quite simply, groups work best to help people heal from depression and anxiety!
If you are struggling with these illnesses, consider joining a Depression and Anxiety Circle group. Many women experience depression or anxiety at some point in their lives. Connection is healing and we are here for to help!
