Support Groups

Healing doesn’t have to happen alone.

Our support groups offer a compassionate, structured space for adults (21+) who want to explore their inner world, feel less alone in their experiences, and build connection with others who truly understand.

Support groups can help you:

  • Feel seen, heard, and understood in a safe, non-judgmental space

  • Reduce isolation and shame by connecting with others who share similar experiences

  • Develop insight into your concerns

  • Practice emotional awareness, regulation, and healthy boundaries

  • Strengthen your sense of self while being in connection with others

Each group is facilitated with care and intention, blending gentle guidance, shared reflection, and emotional validation. While every participant’s story is unique, the group setting often brings a powerful reminder: you are not alone.

Participant Reviews

  • The support group gave me more insight on ways to handle the hurt caused by my parents. It also reminded me to continue to give myself grace on my healing journey. I also became more aware of patterns I need to remain aware of to be sure I don’t pass it down to my children.

    —Aja M., Parental Hurt Support Group

  • It was great to meet others with similar backgrounds and learn how they are dealing with similar problems. Reading through the book together with other people was better than just reading the book on my own.

    —Jordan S., Parental Hurt Support Group

  • I look at my parents differently, I understand that they were/are emotionally immature. But it's time to heal my inner child so I can have emotionally mature relationships.

    —Emily W., Parental Hurt Support Group

  • I appreciated Ronda's empathy. It made me feel understood on something I've struggled with for many years of my life.

    —David L., Parental Hurt Support Group

  • It gave me a sense of community and relatability. My biggest takeaway is the importance of connecting with others who share and are navigating similar experiences.

    —Maria G., Parental Hurt Support Group

  • I truly enjoyed myself, it gave me a safe pace to talk about my hurt amongst other individuals that are healing from their hurts.

    —Isaiah E., Parental Hurt Support Group

Parental Hurt Support Group

Parental Hurt refers to the emotional pain that arises from painful, difficult, or harmful relationships with one’s parent(s) or caregiver(s), often referred to as the Mother/Father wound. Parents who are emotionally immature, as in, controlling, manipulative, absent, explosive, critical, etc., can have a lasting impact on their child(ren) leading to deep-seated wounds that affects one’s life quality from childhood well into adulthood.

For many, this type of hurt can feel incredibly isolating and dark. Which makes having a sense of community and support like the Parental Hurt Support Group essential for healing.

If this resonates with you, then know that you are in the right place to begin or continue healing and reclaiming your life. The Parental Hurt support group offers a safe space to share, heal, and learn how to navigate the impact of Parental Hurt and difficult family relationships.

This virtual group is facilitated twice a year, once in the Fall and once in the Spring. The next group is March 3rd-April 7th, 2026 every Tuesday at 6pm-7pm.

  • This support group is a virtual six-week closed group with up to 4 participants. A closed group means new members will not be permitted once we begin. We will be reading the book, “Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents” by Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD.

    This group is facilitated twice a year, once in the Fall and once in the Spring. The next group will be held every Tuesday from March 3rd through April 7th at 6pm- 7pm EST.

  • Participants can expect a supportive and confidential environment where they can share their experiences, insights, and feelings related to parental hurt.

    Each week, the group will entail both fluid and guided discussions, emotional support, and exploration of the exercises and tools outlined in the book, while also having the opportunity to connect with others facing similar challenges to build a sense of community and resilience.

  • As this support group is not a substitute for mental health therapy, insurance is not accepted and the fee is self-pay only.

    Investment: $240; $40 per session. Total amount due at the time of registration.

  • No, this is a support group. While group therapy and support groups do overlap, there are key differences.

    Group therapy is a form of psychological treatment led by a trained professional, using clinical interventions to address specific mental health issues.

    Support groups, on the other hand, focus on peers supporting one another through shared experiences, providing a safe space for connection, reducing isolation, and coping with challenges together.

    Though this is the standard difference, both forms of group will have overlapping elements and can vary in structure, ranging from informal to highly organized, depending on the facilitator's approach.

    In this support group, the structure will blend peer-led and facilitator-led elements, allowing for both organic and guided discussion.

  • Absolutely not. You are encouraged to read the book at a pace that feels comfortable to you. No matter where you are in the book, we will all still be on the same topic.

    We are currently exploring the book, "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents." by Lindsay C. Gibson, PsyD.

    This book may be purchased here, through our Amazon affiliate link, or at Target, Walmart, Books-A-Million, or Barnes and Noble.
