Healing Through Connection – Intergenerational Trauma Group

This group provides a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore, understand, and heal from the deep impact of intergenerational trauma and attachment wounds that come from the suffering within our families.



Group & workshop sessions are a cost-effective way to receive therapy and education. Most Insurance plans cover our fee.

Private Groups: $75.00 per person

This closed, 6-week group combines psychoeducation, interactive discussions, and therapeutic exercises, offering participants tools to address attachment styles, trauma, and family dynamics. Each session incorporates grounding techniques, including the Container Exercise, and builds coping skills through activities such as journaling, boundary setting, and visualization. The goal is to help participants transition from a state of survival to an embodied sense of safety and self-compassion.

This group also offers a cost-effective way to receive support while fostering deep, healing connections with others on similar journeys.

Sitting with feelings, especially difficult ones, is a hard but important skill. Tolerating and soothing difficult feelings until they pass is an important skill that for most people is not taught or modeled well in our society that tends to avoid intense feelings. 💪🏽This ability bolsters our other skills of practicing grace, processing our emotions and allowing ourselves to move forwards towards the goals and life we want to curate. It’s important to explore and be curious about the emotions we are experiencing, to recognize what they are, to allow yourself to feel them. All emotions can be observed and supported with compassion until the feelings lesson.✨#emotionfocusedtherapy #therapytoronto #therapiststoronto #southasiantherapist #
