A community group programme for personal growth, healing and transformation.

Description

We are delighted to house this programme at Health at Heart, a wonderful welcoming and vibrant healing space within the centre of Chorley.

This is a small group in person community offering for a maximum of 8 people who will meet for 5 weeks. You need to be able to commit to the programme for the 5 weeks, there will be breaks to enable this. 

The programme is held by the Internal Family Systems Therapy, a highly effective and gentle personal growth and healing therapeutic modality, somatic work and Polyvagal or nervous system practices. You do not need to know anything about these therapeutic modalities and everyone with a wish for more inner and outer connections, personal healing and growth and curiosity to know more is welcome, regardless of your background and experiences. 

Sessions will comprise guided practices, experiential practices, opportunities to map parts and work with parts that hold trauma experiences and shame. Some weeks we will have specific themes, such as shame, grief, somatic practices, legacy and cultural burdens, accessing Self energy and getting to know our dominant loyal protectors. 

Time will be given to explore and recognise the gifts of your protector parts and exiles at your own pace. The parts of you that have helped you survive or adapt to experiences of trauma, adversity, misattunement and the parts of you that are wounded by these experiences.

You may be given supplementary tasks to complete in between sessions, these may be audio, written or just time connecting to parts inside. 

All groups run for 1 hour and 30 minutes and are held in the space at Health at Heart. We will meet on Mondays 5pm until 6.30pm. 

Groups are £30 each. Your booking will pay for the first group, after this you will be invoiced or can pay weekly at Health at Heart. 

The programme will be led by Dr Zandra Bamford, an Approved IFS Clinical Consultant & Certified IFS Therapist with many years experience working with trauma within a deeply compassionate and holistic approach.
