Yes, Your Normal! Find That Out in Our Women’s Support Group, La Verne, Facilitated by Ilissa Banhazl, MFT

Call to learn more about group- (626) 335-0903

Ever notice that things don’t seem quite as bad when you tell a good girlfriend? There’s nothing like a group of women who can turn your tears into laughter. Or cry with you! Why go it alone?

Heck yes, your normal! In-group, watch as the women relate to your experience and listen as women describe feelings that you can relate to. We only feel different when we isolate and keep our thoughts to ourselves. It tends to magnify and can distort things.

When you tell your story out loud and no one judges you but rather supports you; you’ll feel better about yourself. Someone may share or say something that gives you a new look at an old problem.

It’s a compassionate group where you can feel safe. Please know that, “What’s said in group, stays in group!”

Women’s Process & Support Group Glendora Facilitated by Ilissa Banhazl, MFT

Look for the purple sofa!
Don’t you need this?

Our women’s support group is thriving! Women show up each week knowing they will be happy to see one another and eager to share the last week’s events.

Sometimes we talk about a relationship issue and thinking about whether to stay or go, how to communicate better to get your needs met.

Sometimes we talk about self-esteem and the negative or positive things we tell ourselves each day. “What we feel comes directly from what we think.”

Sometimes we celebrate one another’s successes like getting offered a new job or a new man in your life! We are so proud of and happy for one another.

Some of the women are thinking about dating and we talk about effective ways to date.

Other times we share parenting stories, especially if someone is struggling with his or her teen, young child or adult child. It’s amazing how much the women relate to one another’s experiences and feelings.

We never know what the topic of conversation until the women arrive. You can talk about anything that you need to talk about.

You deserve to take up space and for caring women to listen to you. You need somewhere you can go and receive support for your perspective on things.

Don’t hesitate to call for more information. (626)  335-0903

Women’s Support Group Glendora Starts Again on Tuesday January 8, 2013

What is a Women’s Support Group? An Experience You’ll Treasure! by Ilissa Banhazl

I am a marriage and family therapist, (MFT) in private practice in Glendora. I facilitate a women’s support group. In my women’s support group you can share about yourself, learn about “you”

Now there’s only 2 seats left!

and others. Each week you will become more comfortable in your group and look forward to the night you get to be in a safe and caring place with your new friends. Many times in your personal life you can feel judged and misunderstood. In a women’s support group, you will experience empathy, respect and validation of your experiences and feelings. You will hear different ideas and problem solve if you wish, while receiving encouragement. As your facilitator, I will introduce topics relevant to the group such as self-esteem and better skills for communication.

It’s nice to have a place where you can be yourself and it’s important to carve out time for yourself. Weeks fly by while you’re taking care of everyone else. You can be more effective in all your relationships when you practice self-care and give yourself the gift of caring women friends.
