I lead two "Discovering Normal" groups, one on Wednesdays (6:00-7:30 p.m.) and one on Thursdays (7:15-8:45 p.m.). A Saturday morning group will be forming soon. These groups are for women who grew up in families where the emphasis was on meeting the parents' needs rather than on meeting the children's needs, often because of the parents' alcoholism and/or chronic mental or physical illness. Each group meets in 12-week sessions, accepting new members in the first week of a new session.  

The Wednesday group will be open to new members on September 15th; the Thursday group will be open to new members on September 16th.  Please click here if you are interested in joining one of these groups.

Are you tired of being your own worst critic?

If you struggle with depression, low self-esteem, addictions, or codependency, you know what I’m talking about. You probably find it easy to see all of your flaws and shortcomings, but rarely notice your positive qualities and your successes.

After a while that constant self-criticism gets really old and you find yourself wishing you actually liked yourself. You’ve spent a lifetime learning to criticize yourself, though, and it’s not easy to believe that you can change.

message from Jennifer         
       

I can help you to identify the patterns of thinking and feeling that have been holding you back. Once you have identified what you don’t want, you can decide what you do want. We will work together to define your goals; then I will help you to make a plan for change and support you as you put that plan into action.

If you're like many of my clients, your issues are, in part, the legacy of alcoholic and/or narcissistic parents.  Unfortunately, if your parents are still alive, they are probably continuing to trigger your feelings of inadequacy. If you have issues with your spouse and/or your in-laws, they, too, can trigger you. In an unsafe environment like that it can be very difficult to imagine, let alone enact, change.

 

 

 

 

 

I create a safe atmosphere that makes it possible to imagine a better way of life and then to make it happen.

Don’t let those negative thoughts and feelings hold you back any longer. Contact me today.
