I am an Empty Nester, and quite frankly, I need some support. So I was excited and relieved when a friend of mine messaged me and asked about starting a group for Empty Nesters.
But What Does the Empty Nest Have to Do With Trauma?
Great question! As a trauma and grief recovery coach, *everything* is an entry point for learning about how trauma and grief has affected our lives.
What does the empty nest process have to do with trauma? Let’s be curious and find out (personally, I have noticed that this process has activated my abandonment trigger, which I wasn’t prepared for – I wrote more about this at Sweatpants & Coffee).
Like I said, I’m a parent who is experiencing the empty nest process right now. Our older three kids have moved out and are living their lives, and the youngest is a senior in high school. I’m a big preacher about how healing happens in community, and I long for community in this area of my life. I would so rather not go through this alone.
Details About the Empty Nesters Zoom Group
Empty Nesters starts NEXT WEEK! I know, last minute, but it all came together TODAY so we’re going for it. Here’s what you need to know:
Format – A combination of class and support group. I will have something prepared each week for discussion and curious exploration. There will be time and space reserved each week for sharing, listening, and support.
What will we talk about? Topics covered in this hybrid class/support group include identifying and processing confusing emotions, parenting guilt vs shame, grief & loss vs celebrations & gains, navigating these life changes, boundaries and routines, identity crisis stuff, and more.
How many people? The group limit is 8.
Where? Zoom
When? Every Wednesday evening from 6:30pm to 8ish (PST), starting 9/14 and ending 11/9 (No class 10/5).
Confidentiality? – Complete.
Investment? $200 for 8 weeks of awesomeness.
