Support Group: “Around the Loss” – community project – Online information meeting 28.08.2024 ie. Wednesday 5:00 – 7:00 pm
Join us for an informational meeting to gather a support group led by certified Gestalt psychotherapists.
The modern world yearns even more than the past world for a lost paradise, where there is no sense of time passing and therefore no sense of loss. We escape the fact of our finitude in many ways. On the other hand, some of us, as it were, do not escape, but in a sense escape by remaining in absolute despair, in which there is no movement, but which at least is certain. And what will change when we try to explore this pole of hopelessness together, with others?
We invite you to participate in a social project that aims to take a realistic look at our everyday life without the fantasy of constant profit, development and progress. We want to create a space to talk about our experience of loss as an inherent and natural part of life. Where there will be an opportunity to experience and safely express the emotions associated with them. Without judging, advising or therapeutizing. Where we will see ourselves as people experiencing small and large losses and mourning them. It will not be a therapy group, but an opportunity to experience one’s own humanity in its various guises.
Support Group: “Around the Loss”. – Objectives:
If:
- You feel that you are trapped in a loop of difficult and incomprehensible emotions
- Your choices and decisions are fraught with tension that you keep losing something
- You don’t know how to experience the joy of what is, because you feel sad that something is not there and it seems “abnormal” to you
- When you lose something you are left with a feeling of hurt and not knowing how to survive that loss
- Don’t know how to accept and survive with the impossible in life
- Feeling lonely/alone and unable to find your way to balance and peace of mind
- You want to better understand how to create relationships and events with the awareness of the hardship of the irreversible and inevitable present in them
At the support group you will have the opportunity:
- Examine your current losses and how you are experiencing them
- Maybe you can answer some of the questions that have been bothering you about what loss is in life
- You will also have the opportunity to expand your abilities and skills to experience it
- You will also have the opportunity to be in a group and experience the support of others. You will feel that you are not alone.
