We are story tellers, our mind keeps bringing up significant, painful past experiences in order to protect us from repeating the same mistakes, and feeling such uncomfortable feelings again. While growing up, in groups we learned some negative messages: “I’m not wanted, I don’t belong, I’m not worthy, I’m not ready yet, the world is a dangerous place, I’m bad, I’m not good enough, I need constant approval and validation.” In facilitated groups, among peers who are ready to see beyond the stories, there is hope and healing beyond insecurity, and mental distress.
