What is involved?
Registered Psychotherapist Louise Oke will lead the group through guided discussion and skills training around coping with anxiety, appropriate expectations and self care, perfectionism, caregiver burnout, and more. Participants will have a chance to swap war stories and reconnect to their social selves in a small, supported setting as we prepare to re-enter a post-pandemic world.
Our therapeutic goals are to:
- Reconnect with other people in a safe, supported setting
- Address our anxieties and come up with coping strategies for specific challenges
- Explore healthy emotional outlets and release valves
- Share and listen to our pandemic battle stories, be affirmed and validated in our struggles
- Increase our compassion for ourselves and others
- Recognise limits, set boundaries and practice effective self-care as we recover
