Reclaiming Politics: A Political Processing Group
Are politics stressing you out?
Have you felt anxiety about local or national politics?
Do you want to learn how to better process, cope with, and engage with challenging political landscapes?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then our group Reclaiming Politics might be right for you!
This is a therapy group for adults of voting age (18+) looking for an affirming, restorative environment to process the current political system in the United States.
This group is open to a diverse population of individuals, which means political identities of other group members may differ from your own. Participation in this group requires each individual to be cognizant of varying belief systems prior to joining. The goal of the group is not to find “common ground” or sway others’ viewpoints, but to equip group members with tools to successfully navigate across the political spectrum.
Reclaiming Politics is open to individuals of voting age (18+) of any political affiliation or values-system. Due to space constraints and group therapy best practices, the number of participants will be capped at 12. If you register after the group is full, you may request to be added to the group’s waitlist for future iterations.
This group will not be a good fit for anyone feeling acutely or presently suicidal – if you are looking for immediate services, please visit our Get Help Now page for crisis response resources.
It is recommended that participants meet with an individual therapist while the group is in session.
Meetings take place on alternating Tuesdays from 6:00-7:30pm at Kindred Psychology. Dates are as follows:
