A 4-Week Resilience Group for Those Waiting to Begin Individual Therapy — or Anyone Ready to Build Core Wellness Skills
Feeling stuck in the in-between?
If you’re on a therapy waitlist, you’ve already taken an important step — but that doesn’t mean the hard stuff hits pause while you wait. In fact, this in-between time can be filled with anxiety, overwhelm, and questions like:
“What can I do now to start feeling better?”
That’s where Wellness While You Wait comes in.
This 4-week, virtual group offers supportive, workshop-style sessions grounded in practical, body-based tools to help you build resilience, regulate stress, and strengthen your inner resources—whether you’re waiting for therapy, unsure if therapy is right for you, or simply need a reset.
What You’ll Learn:
In this 4-week group, you’ll explore simple, effective tools rooted in the Community Resiliency Model (CRM®)—a biological, evidence & strengths-based approach to well-being that focuses on how our nervous system responds to stress and resilience.
- Core Wellness Skills: Learn techniques to calm the nervous system, manage anxiety, and build everyday resilience.
- Self-Regulation Tools: Practice strategies that help you stay grounded, present, and steady during times of stress or uncertainty.
- Mind-Body Connection: Understand how to recognize and shift patterns of tension and discomfort in the body.
- Strengthening Inner Resources: Build access to hope, joy, and a deeper sense of self by connecting with what sustains and uplifts you.
- The Resilient Zone: Discover how to track your nervous system and return to your “Resilient Zone”—a space where you can think clearly, feel balanced, and respond rather than react.
