As the holidays approach, many of us may experience complicated feelings, especially as we anticipate visits with family. Critical remarks, conflicting political views, and painful histories can make going home feel like a minefield. In this workshop, we will connect with each other, learn strategies for self-care and boundary setting, and develop our own self-sustainment plans to help us feel grounded and equipped as we enter the holiday season.
This supported afternoon will be facilitated by Reservoir’s own Tori Noordhoek, LICSW, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in private practice. With a rich professional background, Tori loves helping people find gentle ways to embrace their whole selves and experience freedom from anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Please reach out to Aubrie for more info.
