Resiliency Circle One Time Experience

We are delighted to share this new group work concept with you as a one time experience. Which normally would be a weekly on-going group from 3 months up to 2 years. These one time experience groups will be repeated every last Thursday of the month and open for anyone to join and and receive a 20% discount for the long term groups happening on Tuesdays.

In these experience groups, we will be introducing the concept and as well going into the Resiliency Circle process shortly as a taster. Whereas in the long term version we work with relational processes with the same group at least for 3 months.

Resiliency circles are safe spaces held by two facilitators, with 5-8 participants for working with interpersonal patterns and traumatic experiences that occurred in relationships. These sessions help you as part of the group to cultivate resilience and experience new patterns within the relating experience.

This new relating experience can offer new ways to connect with each other and establish safer models of attachment, within the group and potentially to be integrated into your everyday relationships. Through learning to self-regulate and co-regulate with others in the group, you can potentially become more yourself in the presence of the other.

Resiliency circles are safe containers in which you can practice healthier relational patterns, intimacy, authenticity, agency and acting towards mutual benefits of the group. It’s an opportunity for you to shift relational traumatic experiences and cultivate more resilient group dynamics where you can expand your capacities to support one another.

Bihter Kartheuser, MA, ICF, NSP Nervous System Coach

I’m a world citizen with a multidisciplinary background and a passion for exploring the complexities of being human. After pursuing academic work in media sociology, with over a decade of experience teaching yoga and mindfulness, my curiosity about the human body and psyche led me to specialize in trauma therapy.

Drawn to the transformative power of somatic work, I completed a three-year training and a year of supervised clinical training with NeuroSystemics. Understanding how my nervous system functions and going through many years of embodied therapy and practices have been life altering, therefore I’m enthusiastic about helping more people to cultivate nervous system resilience, empowerment, and the agency for contributing to greater wellbeing and a healthier and happier society.
