Participant Review
-
The support group gave me more insight on ways to handle the hurt caused by my parents. It also reminded me to continue to give myself grace on my healing journey. I also became more aware of patterns I need to remain aware of to be sure I don’t pass it down to my children.

It was great to meet others with similar backgrounds and learn how they are dealing with similar problems. Reading through the book together with other people was better than just reading the book on my own.

What is Parental Hurt?
Parental Hurt refers to the emotional pain that arises from painful, difficult, or harmful relationships with one’s parent(s) or caregiver(s), often referred to as the Mother/Father wound. Parents who are emotionally immature, as in, controlling, manipulative, absent, explosive, critical, etc., can have a lasting impact on their child(ren) leading to deep-seated wounds that affects one’s life quality from childhood well into adulthood.
For many, this type of hurt can feel incredibly isolating and dark. Which makes having a sense of community and support like the Parental Hurt Support Group essential for healing.

No, this is a support group. While group therapy and support groups do overlap, there are key differences.
Group therapy is a form of psychological treatment led by a trained professional, using clinical interventions to address specific mental health issues.
Support groups, on the other hand, focus on peers supporting one another through shared experiences, providing a safe space for connection, reducing isolation, and coping with challenges together.
Though this is the standard difference, both forms of group will have overlapping elements and can vary in structure, ranging from informal to highly organized, depending on the facilitator's approach.
In this support group, the structure will blend peer-led and facilitator-led elements, allowing for organic discussion while also incorporating guided exercises and practical coping strategies.
