Learning to Love the Self
Facilitated by Rachel Richards, LMHC
About this group
What if you didn't have to spend your life trying to become good enough? Maybe you understand where your self-criticism comes from. Maybe you've been in therapy for years. And yet there is still a voice inside that tells you you're too much, not enough, behind, failing, disappointing someone—or that everyone else deserves the compassion you have such a hard time giving yourself. Learning to Love the Self is a small, eight-week online therapy group for people who want to change that relationship with themselves. We'll explore how family, relationships and culture shape shame and self-criticism, and practice something different together: self-compassion, acceptance, connection and learning to relate to ourselves with greater kindness. Learn about culture's impact on the epidemic of self hatred and how to counteract it. Join with others in creating a community of support. Participate in a group focused on learning to grow more self love and self compassion. Group is open to all humans but limited to 8 people to assist in creating ongoing member support. We will meet on Wednesdays at 4pm - 5pm for 8 weeks next session is 9/30/26 - 11/25/26 We meet using a secure version of zoom, please provide the email to receive a zoom link. Fee for group is sliding scale (please reach out if the rate is not affordable for you) with rate of $50 per session, please pre-pay before each group session or ask for a further discounted entire 8 week up front payment option.
