Our group offers a combination of bibliotherapy and skill-building to support you in this journey. Led by therapist Sara Forcella, our discussions on Kristen Neff's latest book, "Fierce Self-Compassion," will provide education on self-compassion and practical ways to incorporate it into your life.

Are you finding it tough to connect with your parent on a deeper emotional level? Do you ever feel worn out after interactions with them? You might have even caught yourself googling, "is my parent a narcissist?" No, you're not "going crazy". You're the adult child of an EIP. Join our 75-minute group where we discuss readings from Dr. Lindsay Gibson’s “Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents” and share our experiences. You'll gain an understanding of your parent's behavior, learn how to set boundaries, resist emotional takeovers, and start reconnecting with your authentic self.
