Feeling the heat? Join a facilitated processing group centered on the complex experience of the U.S. election.
Holding Election Emotions Together: A Space for Processing (Therapists and Counselors Only)
A series of three meetings. Closed group, so that we can build trust together over the series: Please only sign up if you intend on participating in all three. This group is for mental health clinicians only. Professional courtesy rate extended, with further discount for pre-licensed clinicians. Must be physically located in California or Washington State at the time of the session. Space is limited.
Facilitated by: Lisa Wenninger, PhD, LPCC, LMHC
IMPORTANT: This will be an anti-oppressive space. All identities are welcome, however any views expressing any version of anti-immigrant, anti-refugee, anti-trans, anti-gay/queer, anti-Black, anti-Asian, anti-Indigeneous, anti-Latine/Hispanic, anti-DEI or CRT, anti-childless cat lady, or anti-[insert any political party or candidate here] hatred, will not be tolerated.
The purpose of the group is to honor the complex emotions that many of us are carrying, to voice our fears, name our anger, be together in a space of others who are focused on the collective. While this group is for therapists and counselors, we will not be focused on case consult (please, protect all client confidentiality), though it’s fine if we bring in our countertransference generated from client work to process together.
Attendance at first session MANDATORY in order to meet each other and establish group norms together.
Three Wednesdays: 10/30, 11/6, 11/13 6pm – 7:30pm
On Zoom.
Group may be extended further in November depending upon need (additional fee would be required to continue participation).
Mental health clinicians only, please. Professional pricing extended: $50 total for the series of three meetings for licensed professionals, $25 for pre-licensed.
