Whether you were recently laid off, forced to resign, retired, or any of the above; there are a lot of heavy emotions that go along with that. 

Some may still be working and dreading going to work and only live for the weekends, or deal with stressful bosses, challenging colleagues, clients and difficult projects on a daily basis. 

We will explore purging these heavy feelings, review what you’re passionate about and what you like or love to do so you can move forward. Some of the activities we will do include writing prompts and learning about self-care tips and techniques to help deescalate intense feelings when they arise so you can ultimately thrive.

It’s time to break free of stress and hurt feelings so you can start to heal, feel better internally, and move into your future on a positive note.
