Chronic Illness, Pain & Disability Therapy Group
Living with a chronic illness, pain, or disability can feel isolating, overwhelming, and challenging at times. Whether you have just been given a new diagnosis or have lived the entirety of your life with a chronic condition, processing through the emotions and impact of your condition takes strength and a lot of energy. It sometimes feels like no one else “gets'' it, no one else fully understands.
This group focuses on empowering, encouraging, and processing through the dynamic challenges of living with a chronic condition. This group will serve as a safe, supportive, open space for individuals with a variety of conditions to share with and support one another. Our therapy group recognizes the importance of addressing not only the physical aspects of your condition but also the emotional and psychological toll it can take. This group is designed to help you:
Share Your Journey: In this processing group, you'll have the opportunity to share your experiences, thoughts, and feelings with others who understand what you're going through. Sharing your story can be a powerful way to release pent-up emotions and gain new perspectives.
Foster Connection: Building a sense of community with individuals who share similar challenges can be incredibly empowering. You'll find understanding, empathy, and support from your fellow group members as you navigate the ups and downs of life with chronic illness/disability.
Learn Coping Strategies: Our group sessions will focus on developing effective coping strategies and resilience. You'll gain valuable insights into managing stress, anxiety, depression, and other emotional responses commonly associated with chronic conditions.
Empowerment: As you engage in open and honest discussions, you'll discover your inner strength and resilience. This group is a platform for personal growth and encouragement.
This group is open to any individual who identifies as having a chronic condition (illness, pain, disability, etc.). You don't have to navigate the complexities of chronic illness or disability alone. Together, we can find strength in solidarity and build a community of resilience.

This virtual group will be facilitated by Samantha Ambrico-Custer & hosted through Zoom.
