Women's Support Group
Healing the Mother-Daughter Wound
The group size is 4- 12 people per session. Next support group - TBA
​
​
This group is intended to provide support for women who are currently exploring or want to explore the relationship they have (or do not have) with their mother. For many of us, venturing upon a healing journey may mean exploring our relationships, going back in the past, experiencing painful memories, or feeling frustrated and misunderstood by our mothers. Grief shows up in many different shapes and sometimes, it sneaks up on us when we least expect it. We may feel ashamed, angry, defeated, sad, even depressed. Emotions give us signals, and we need to explore what we feel so we can understand what is that we need. The intention of this circle of support is to provide a safe space to be human, to feel less alone and more understood and supported by others who are experiencing similar challenges. The participants are encouraged to share as much or as little of their story as they wish, offer support and perspective to one another, create authentic connections, and even friendships.
As a human, Ellie brings years of experience in going through the challenging journey of strained relationship with her mother and the path towards acceptance and inner peace.
As a host, Ellie offers a lot of insight and uses her skills as a clinical counsellor and group facilitator to offer perspective, teach how to cope with emotions, relationship management, and self-compassion and self-advocacy.
Group Values
​
Acceptance · Belonging · Respect · Kindness · Compassion
​
1. What is said in the group, stays in the group. Feeling safe in the group is very important for the success of the process.
​
2. Everyone is encouraged to speak when they are ready. We speak one at a time. If needed, the facilitator may gently interrupt a speaker to give an opportunity for another member to participate.
​
3. We listen and show respect to one another.
​
4. The path of healing can be difficult and very emotional. We are respectful of difference in opinions, personalities, life choices, etc. and we do not judge one another.
​
5. Our goal is to share, support, and learn. We may laugh, we may cry, and we will do it together.
