Thanks everyone for the support.
The first group was good. The format is review group guidelines, check in, educational piece, and then close with a piece of poetry.
The check in was a lot deeper and emotional than I'm used to. I could really relate to a lot of what the other women were saying, and it dragged up some unpleasant emotions for me.
I realized I'd maybe been a bit over confident going into the group, and that if I really let my guard down to experience my emotions, it could be tough. But I know I need to do that in order to process stuff. It's just a little scary.
I think I'm really going to benefit from the program, it's just going to be hard.
