Are you a woman of color and currently expecting or recently given birth? Then you are embarking on a new journey and we want to invite you to join KerriAnne Sejour via Zoom for our first expectant and new mothers group.

The group will focus on normalizing and supporting the transition to motherhood while addressing the unspoken changes, expectations, judgements, limitations, and associated fears. During a woman's pregnancy she is often overwhelmed by many unavoidable existential questions such as: what my body will mean after pregnancy or will I be a good mother? This group's overarching aim is to address and reduce society's portrayal of pregnancy and motherhood as an isolating journey in a woman’s life while simultaneously celebrating the uniqueness to each and every woman’s pregnancy journey and story.

Starts February 17th. Go to the link in bio for more details

There are incredible mental benefits of mindfulness-based practices, which include meditations, mindful eating, mindful walking, and so on. Yoga is a physical practice of mindfulness; while doing yoga routines and postures, the attention is always brought back to the breath and noticing the physical sensations in the body.

Why is mindfulness so important?

Mindfulness is paying attention to the present moment. We often get wrapped up in thoughts, which can sometimes turn into overwhelming waves of anxiety, or other times appear as everyday stress. These thoughts fill our heads, putting us on auto-pilot and ignoring what is happening within our bodies and in our surroundings.

Mindfulness teaches us to transfer attention out of our head and into the present moment; this creates space in our mind. It also allows us to see our thoughts as just thoughts, and feelings as just feelings, becoming curious, nonjudgmental observers of ourselves.

Yoga connects the mind and the body. What does that mean? If the mind is in a state of distress, let’s say anxiety, it can appear in cognitive ways, such as ruminating over a certain situation or having a thought over and over, but it can also show up in physical manifestations of the body, such as a racing heartbeat, tightness of chest, shortness of breath, and tension in body parts. When you work on calming down those physical sensations, it automatically sends signals to the brain to do the same. It refocuses our attention from thinking to the physical act of connecting with the body and breath, clearing up space in the mind and quieting the chatter.

Interested in experiencing the benefits of yoga first hand?

Therapy Brooklyn’s virtual “How to Cope” workshop series aims to support you in understanding the anxiety, depression, and grief caused by the chaos of 2020.

Have you noticed that it seems more difficult to focus, plan, or remember things you might not have had a problem with before this year’s events?

How about social anxiety before seeing your friends for the first time in months?

Are you growing apathetic as the year becomes increasingly distressing?

You might be surprised to know that you’re not alone. In this workshop, you’ll find a community in covering issues such as isolation, working from home, unemployment, the current political climate, and social justice movements & activism.

Every three weeks, Anjali and Liz will guide conversation in groups of up to 10 individuals through discussion based questions, journaling, and evidence-based coping strategies.

We look forward to building a community with you starting September 24, 2020 @ 7pm.
