Insight Society: Psychotherapy Group for Anxiety with Sarah Schermerhorn
Six Mondays
June 16, June 23, June 30, July 14, July 21, July 28
9-10:30am • Newton
If you often feel worried or nervous throughout the day or struggle with overthinking, restlessness, and sleep disturbances, this is the right group for you.
This six-week, mindfulness-based program is designed to address symptoms of anxiety. Participants will gain insight into their relational, behavioral, and cognitive patterns in this structured group setting.
Throughout the program, you can expect to learn about common triggers of anxiety, the neuroscience behind sensations, and an introduction to healing trauma, as well as effective strategies for understanding and reducing anxiety.
Group therapy is particularly effective for individuals struggling with anxiety as it provides a unique environment where participants can share their experiences and worries with others who understand their challenges. This shared experience fosters a sense of community and belonging that can reduce feelings of isolation, often accompanying anxiety.
Led by licensed psychotherapist and hot power flow instructor Sarah Schermerhorn, LMHC, this group will help you understand and alleviate your anxiety while cultivating practices that improve your overall mental health.
Each session will include a 30-minute yoga/mindfulness practice and a 60-minute therapy group. A breakdown of each week's theme and coping strategy is listed below:
Week 1 (June 16): Psychoeducation on Anxiety & Yoga
Week 2 (June 23): The Neuroscience Behind Anxiety & Meditation
Week 3 (June 30): The Discovery of the Self & Progressive Muscle Relaxation
