I have had the opportunity over the past two years to train with and work for Dr. Curt Thompson and the team in Washington DC. My work with them has been in leading Confessional Communities in the therapeutic setting, most recently leading an intensive in DC as part of their practice.
Confessional Communities are group therapy and I find this type of therapeutic work advantageous to individual therapy for most people. What makes these groups different from others is they are not support groups and they are not topical groups (say, for depression), they are process groups which focus on the principles of interpersonal neurobiology and Christian spiritual formation. In these groups you will find healing as you learn to tell your story more truly and learn to be fully seen and known in community. To learn more about Dr. Thompson, his practice, and Confessional Communities you can visit https://www.newstorybehavioralhealth.com/ or listen to season 7 of this podcast: https://www.beingknownpodcast.com/
I plan to offer the first group beginning in January and here are the details:
Time: 12 week group meeting on Monday evenings beginning January 29th from 7-9pm
Cost: $900 ($75/session, a savings of $45/session compared to individual work)
Location: The Dwelling Place office in Byron Center

I'm excited for what's to come!
