Welcome!

Join people working to stop self defeating behaviors and habits like smoking, over-eating, over-drinking, cluttering, over-working, not exercising, complaining, blaming, etc. Gather weekly to learn and experience the newest ideas and practical approaches that help people change. Learn why "self-help", believing memories, trusting thoughts, over-valuing feelings, and focusing on stopping behavior often doesn't help us change.

This group is facilitated by a trained life and executive coach, long-time university professor, advisor and administrator, and member of The Arbinger Institute Helping Professionals Network http://www.arbinger.com. The meeting activities consist of instruction, exercises and discussion. The focus is living in the present, becoming attuned with our bodies, removing obstacles to personal change, and learning to be responsive to ourselves and others. At sessions, members are free to share insights and experiences, but disclosing personal information and feelings isn't required.

This group isn't therapy or a support group for people with mental health challenges. The facilitator isn't qualified to treat mental illness or substance abuse and does not do so.

After the first introductory meeting, a commitment of six consecutive sessions is requested, for which members pay a fee of $20 per session or $110 in advance, however members may leave the group after any session.
