Soul Repair Group in Pasadena, California

SOUL REPAIR

A small group for those who have suffered abuse, abandonment, and neglect as children and want to move on with their lives.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more  painful than the risk it took to blossom”                          - Anaïs Nin

This small group program provides support to participants for the healing of old psycho-spiritual issues and developing better life skills for attaining their personal goals:

COMMUNITY: a safe and supportive small group to share with others who have experienced similar challenges from their childhoods.

SPIRITUALITY: a loving space to heal painful childhood memories and to find greater inner peace, connection with others and one’s higher power.

EDUCATION: learning healthy ways to self regulate and reduce emotional distress through mindfulness practices, somatic processing and more.

PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALING: sharing one’s stories, psychodrama, Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) forgiveness of self and others, self compassion and other practices for healing and moving beyond old issues.

PERSONAL GROWTH: support and accountability for setting and attaining healthy goals for one’s life that align with one’s values, interests and skills.
