I'm super excited to be starting back up the women's group TRIBE at Brookside Anxiety in Jan 2025. TRIBE is a skill and support group for women - learning, experiential exercises, and discussion. This go round will be focused on ACT skills with a feminist focus. The first few sessions will be foundational - introduction to basic ACT and feminist principles. After that, excited to address topics like:
"mom rage," mental load, division of labor
"it's all in her head" - gender differences in mental health
invisibility as women age
body image/diet culture
menopause/women's health
"girl bossing"
devaluation of care work/"sandwich generation"
boundaries, especially how to set them
REAL self care
