Group Support

In the lifestyle medicine program that we offer at various sites across the country, our group support sessions are designed so you can directly experience how good it feels to authentically and deeply connect with others, which is often a transformative experience and profoundly healing. We create a place that feels safe enough for you to talk intimately about what is really going on in your life—to express your authentic feelings—without fear of being judged, abandoned, or criticized.

Once you experience this, then you’re more likely to have the courage to open up in significant ways with your friends, family, and loved ones—because you now know how good it feels to experience this level of community and connection with each other.

Although this is the part of our program that many people think they may have the most difficulty with and believe is least important, they usually find it to be the most meaningful and transformative for them. It’s amazing how quickly people can bond in this context.

Our group support sessions are not based on healing addictions to alcohol or drugs or even reversing chronic diseases. They are designed to enhance intimacy and to facilitate a strong community of people who are supporting each other as they go through life together. When that happens, healing often occurs.
