The Connection Sessions[Monthly emotional, mental processing & connection]

Every human being is an intricate eco-system made up of the body, mind and soul.

Some people choose to go to the gym to work out and get a toned and healthy body, but where do we go for social engagement and to improve our mental and emotional health?

Welcome to The Connection Sessions!

The Connection Sessions are a monthly online regroup connection space to get together with others to improve one's mental and emotional health via a simple few steps process:

• We get online and initially do a brief check in/intro. I will also discuss the rules for the Connection Sessions.
• Following that we do a few minutes of journaling about how our month was for us and what has affected us good and bad.
• Once we have organised our thoughts on paper, we get to go into break out rooms to have one to one sessions with someone else in the group(randomly chosen). You are invited to speak about something that feels important to you with the other person you are in the break out room with. This could be whatever came up for you when you were journaling about what has been going on with you lately. After a few minutes you switch over and listen to the other person, once you have spoken about what is of concern to you.
• Once we have taken turns to speak and then hear the other person we will switch over a few times with others in the group. You can share as much or as little as you want. Always use these break out sessions as an opportunity to hear and be heard and be fully present, in a way that feels safe to you.
• Then towards the end of the group session the break out room sessions ends and everyone returns to the main group and we discuss in unison what we have processed and learned during the session.

This process is necessary mental and emotional hygiene. It is the ability to organise your thoughts and feelings and then be able to voice and process them.

So regardless of whether you journal already or not, if you have a therapist you see regularly or not, or if you have someone you can speak to on a regular basis to talk about important things on your mind or not , attending this session every month will allow you to get whatever is bothering off your chest, and feel seen and heard....

BENEFITS OF ATTENDING:

As a Mastery Facilitator, I run these online monthly group sessions for anyone who wants to improve their mental health, get socially connected and learn new skills for emotional and mental regulation.

These sessions are powerful and very effective. They provide:

• Social connection
• The ability to listen and support others
• While also being heard and supported as well
• Plus it's a space where you can learn to set boundaries
• And learn more about yourself

The benefits don't end there...

Taking part in an online session like this teaches attendees new, healthier coping skills and also the ability to take responsibility for their own emotional and mental wellbeing in a group space. If nothing else you will know that you are not alone in what you are going through, there are other people going through the same struggles, and that can feel comforting as so many of us feel we shouldn't bother others with our problems and so feel the problems we are going through are unique to us, only.
