Fostering Self-Compassion and Self-Love

Wed, May 13 | 4:00PM - 5:00PM UTC

In the wake of trauma, including abusive relationships, adverse childhood events, and systemic oppression, our view of self can become shattered leading to low self-esteem and avoidance patterns. This group is for those ready to start moving forward by improving their self-compassion. We will incorporate meditations, questions, and exercises to increase the elements of self-compassion: kindness, mindfulness, and connection (AKA our common humanity).

Topic context

Understanding hypochondria

For those struggling with health anxiety or hypochondria, persistent worry about illness can disrupt daily life and strain relationships. It can be deeply frustrating when others don’t understand how real those fears feel. Peer support creates a validating space for those concerns to be heard without judgment. Through peer connections, individuals can share coping tools and recognize shared experiences, which helps reduce fear and regain a sense of control. Feeling less alone in these thoughts can ease their intensity and provide pathways toward healing.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with hypochondria

Peer support helps with hypochondria because health anxiety can feel consuming and isolating. A group can help people feel less ashamed of their fears, hear from others with similar patterns, and find more grounded ways of responding over time.
