What These Groups Explore
Shame and vulnerability, perfectionism, worthiness, courage and connection. Clients learn to recognize shame, respond to it with self compassion and reach out instead of hiding.

Why It Fits Recovery
Staying connected is part of staying well.
Many clients carry deep shame about their use, their behavior or their past. Shame resilience work gives them language and practice for staying connected rather than isolating.

The Daring Way is a structured group method built on Brene Brown’s research into vulnerability, shame resilience, courage and worthiness, delivered by a certified facilitator.
Series run for a defined number of weekly sessions rather than open ended attendance, so the group moves through the material together. Admissions can tell you the current schedule and start date.
It is experiential group work rather than individual therapy. Many people run it alongside individual therapy, and it is not a substitute for clinical treatment when that is what is needed.
