“Piecing” Sharing Circles for Therapists and Professional Caregivers

Purpose of the Sharing Circles
The “Piecing” Sharing Circles are designed specifically for therapists, teachers, nurses, and other professional caregivers. These circles provide a dedicated space to openly share personal experiences, feelings, struggles, successes, and challenges encountered in daily life and work. In helping professions, giving is constant, yet there are few opportunities for caregivers themselves to express and reflect.
Inspiration and Structure
The circles are inspired by Indigenous Talking Circles, drawing upon traditions of communal sharing, respect, and attentive listening. Additionally, the spirit of quilt making—where each unique piece contributes to a harmonious whole—serves as a guiding metaphor for the creative and supportive community built within the circles.

Some of you might be wondering how I thought “Piecing’ was a good name for the Sharing Circles I’m offering for professionals. When I first saw this quilt, I immediately saw clients and their stories. How all those stories have come together to make me the therapist I have become through the years. I also thought of the sharing that emerges when there is a quilting circle, the joining of stories. Thus the “Piecing” Sharing Circle was developed for those of us who hear the stories to share our own story, what’s happening for us. To provide us a space to come together in our own caring journeys. Not therapy, just being heard.
