IFS Groups

Healing work in a community of others on a similar journey can be an incredibly powerful experience. Ann-Marie offers IFS informed groups, both in person and online, which serve as effective counseling support groups. These groups create a space that allows for community healing in ways that differ from individual therapy. In our individualistic society, relationships and community are often overlooked as sources of healing, even though they can be where we have experienced the most wounds.

Ann-Marie's IFS informed groups are specifically designed to create a safe environment for exploring parts in a community of individuals who share similar desires for growth and healing. These counseling support groups provide unique access to and healing of parts that may not be fully addressed in individual therapy, making them an incredible supplement to personal healing journeys.

I found support and connection with others in the counseling support groups. Initially, I thought nobody else would understand me and my feelings, but I discovered that others in my group also had similar experiences. I received validation and empathy while maintaining a sense of anonymity. This nonjudgmental connection fostered community healing, allowing me to feel safe. I believe my growth came from stretching my comfort zone and sharing my thoughts. The world didn’t stop spinning; instead, I was met with smiles and acceptance. It was truly heartwarming and healing. 

Ann-Marie is warm, nurturing, and kind in her leading, offering gentle nudges and suggestions without overwhelming us. 

I was able to open up as others did. I appreciated that in a few gatherings, we transitioned from strangers to journeymen. I grew in trust—learning to trust others while sharing my experiences and growing in listening to others in our IFS informed groups.

I found that the group interaction in our IFS informed groups helped me give space to my own parts, allowing me to truly find compassion and curiosity. This was not only something I offered to the other women in our community healing circle, but it also made it easier for me to extend that compassion to myself! I loved all the members of our group. They were amazing women with whom I connected well.

The group was beneficial as it provided me with deeper clarity into my emotional responses. Engaging with my individual parts through compassion and curiosity was a gentler way to navigate difficult emotions, thanks to the supportive environment of counseling support groups.

I would highly recommend these IFS informed groups for other women looking to connect and expand their understanding of how
