The Inner Critics
Can't make it to these dates or is the group fully booked? Please register for the waiting list, and we will keep you up to date about spots opening up or when registration for the new group starts (next semester).
Are you challenged by constant self-criticism, feeling like you're never quite good enough? This support group is intended for all of us who want to explore the voice of our inner critic. Self-criticism is a common struggle among University students as we face academic and personal pressure.
Peer support is a space for genuine connection and understanding between students with similar experiences. By being part of this group, you may discover that you (and your inner critic) are not alone. Together, we will co-create a safe space that fosters sharing, active listening, and mutual support as well as cultivating self-compassion through various group activities and mindfulness exercises. As a group, we embark on the journey of navigating our inner critics. One peer supported step at a time.
Introductory Interview and Questions
To ensure you are a good fit for the group (and the group is for you) and manage expectations, a brief individual interview will be held upon your registration.
