This Support Group is designed to give you the support and action steps you need to live your life on your terms

How to know if this is the right group for you:

This group is for you if:

  • You feel like you don’t know who you are, how you’re feeling, or what you need/want in life

  • You’re constantly second-guessing yourself, even with ‘simple’ decisions like choosing a restaurant

  • You have a hard time managing relationships, often finding yourself in one-sided relationships, going along with what everyone else wants, or feeling like you can’t connect

  • You feel like you should know how to do certain things as an adult - like handle your emotions or set boundaries - but struggle to do so

  • You struggle with confidence

Hi! I’m Katie, your group coach.

I’ve spent the last decade helping people heal (and prevent) Childhood Emotional Neglect (CEN).

I know how lonely it can feel to grow up with emotional neglect not only in childhood, but adulthood, too.

I also know just how easy it is to think something is ‘wrong’ with you when you struggle to do things that everyone around you seems to be able to do without any problems.

I created the Online CEN Support Group to help you feel less alone in this experience + gain insights and tools to go from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to steady and confident in your ability to show up and be your REAL yourself without holding back.

Space is limited so if you’re ready for a change, schedule a FREE 15 minute call to get started!

I can’t wait to further support and empower you in this group.

  • You’ll receive weekly handouts + small but powerful action steps (that don’t take a ton of time!) to integrate new habits and skills so that you can walk into future interactions and decisions regarding your parents feeling confident and empowered!

FAQs

  • Group members are encouraged to plan around group times as best they can, only missing if there is something that is outside of their immediate control, such as sickness or death in the family. Support Groups are successful when there is regular attendance on behalf of all the participants. This creates consistency and predictability, which are the foundation of building trust and safety.

  • Yes, there is a 10% discount for group members who meet one of the following criteria: are on my email list, identify as BIPOC, or prepay for all 8 sessions. Only one discount per group member can be applied. Please chat with Katie to get more details.

  • Yes, it is ideal for all group members to be on camera for each group session. Being able to put names to faces, and observe facial expressions and some body language greatly decreases misunderstandings, and contributes to the feeling of connectedness and safety among group members.

  • Yes, online support groups can be just as effective as in-person support groups! In fact, it can increase your overall comfort level as you are surrounded by the familiarity of your own home/space during the group session. Plus, meeting online can eliminate stress and barriers to attendance, such as drive time/traffic, making it easier to fit into your busy schedule.

  • Yes, you can participate in both at the same time! They each have different benefits that can work well together to enhance your healing process.

  • The Support Group is not a good fit for adults who are: experiencing suicidal thoughts, acting on self-harm behaviors, have an u nsafe living situation, unable to attend sessions regularly due to scheduling conflicts
