Negative Self-Talk:

Do you find that your inner critic is controlling your life?
Do you have ruminating thoughts you can’t control?
Are you experiencing feelings you can’t identify?

Guess what, you are not alone.

This virtual group will challenge negative emotions and share coping strategies to promote our own personal wellness. Peers will be asked to share a troubling experience (personal or not) and the group will work together to come up with solutions that enable you to feel in control of the situation.
