Hyper-Empathy Therapy Group

This group is for individuals who experience empathy for other humans, animals, and the earth to the point of distress. The goal is to support each other as we learn to show up authentically and embrace empathy as a strength.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psycho-education, somatic awareness, and creative expression (optional) will be used to develop emotional regulation skills. This is a non-hierarchical, egalitarian space where we can practice healthy communication skills needed for healing.

Handouts on various topics will be provided for home study.

  • Understanding Hyper-Empathy
