Over 6 weeks, get to the heart of what stops you from caring for - and ultimately loving - yourself and your body.
So that self-care becomes a default way of being, not something to chase.
So that your experience of your inner world is one of coming home, not going into battle.
What to expect:
-
6 weeks of mind-body tools to support you in exploring, uncovering (and moving beyond) the real reasons that self-care feels hard (and why sometimes it is so difficult to be your own best friend)
-
Enquiry and discussion around the beliefs, values and conditioning that contributes to your capacity to care for your needs and meet your body with kindness
-
Practical somatic (body-based) practices to help regulate your nervous system and learn to truly listen to your body.
At the end of the course you will:
-
Feel more confident in looking after yourself and your body - going from having a whole lot of 'shoulds' around self-care to actually living self-care
-
Feel more connected with your body - understanding more clearly how to listen to it and respond with kindness and curiosity over judgement and force
-
Understand what supports you to be your own ally, rather than feeling like you're in a me vs 'it' relationship with your body and mind
-
Have a bunch of tools that you can use every day to deepen your relationship with yourself and your body.
Some questions you might have ...
What do I need to participate?
Access to Zoom and a computer (or phone). No special equipment required. Some materials will be printable, but if you don't have access to a printer (or a desire to print stuff) I will give you clear instructions for using a pencil and paper (or tablet and pen) instead.
How much time do I need to commit each week?
Two hours per week is my best guess. I anticipate live calls will last about 1 hour (though I will stay on for as long as we need). On top of that, expect about another hour to work through the content.
Hm, group stuff - how does this compare to 1-1 counselling?
1-1 counselling is ace. But it can add up - weekly counselling at $120 per session is $480 per month. Which is fine ... unless it isn't. Group work isn't better or worse than 1-1 work. It's simply different. I anticipate that a lot of the insight and growth you experience will be BECAUSE of the group, not in spite of it. We are a social species. Shared humanity matters. The tools we're working with are the same tools I use with my 1-1 counselling clients.
What if I don't want to share with the group?
Then you don't have to! Your desires will be honoured. I'm here to hold space for what you need and want - not to push you to do things you don't want to do.
How much movement is involved? What if I have an injury or certain limitations?
Movement will be primarily somatic exercise and other somatic enquiry-based exercises. This modality is super gentle and slow. Modifications are always possible - if you want to talk about your specific situation before signing up, send me an email at erica@ericawebb.com.au
Is this suitable for everyone?
Nothing truly is, is it? So, no.
This isn't for you if:
-
you're looking for 1-1 support or to explore your specific history in a counselling relationship
-
you're unable to commit to weekly participation (that said, it's ok if you can't make every live call - life, right?!)
-
you're currently in a state of crisis and need tailored, high levels of support (please reach out at erica@ericawebb.com.au if this is you and we will find you the right support)
This could be for you if:
-
You're open, curious and ready to commit to a loving relationship with yourself and your body - you just don't know where to start.
-
You're comfortable with a group format and understand this is not 1-1 counselling support.
PLEASE NOTE:
This course is not 1-1 counselling support. Calls will be recorded for access by group members unable to attend live. By participating, you agree to keep confidential anything shared in confidence by other group members.
