## 💔 Heartbreak / Divorce Recovery Group (Bilingual / Bilingüe) Welcome to your Heartbreak/Divorce Recovery Group. We typically have 30 to 50+ participants per meeting, and you are not required to speak unless you feel ready. That said, we do ask that you listen to the opening remarks, which include a short talk and directions on where to access our free website and resource hub. Bienvenido a tu Grupo de Apoyo para Desamor y Divorcio (bilingüe). Normalmente contamos con 30 a 50+ participantes por reunión, y no estás obligado a hablar hasta que te sientas listo. Solo pedimos que escuches los comentarios iniciales, donde compartimos una breve charla y cómo acceder a nuestros recursos gratuitos. *** 💔 This group is for anyone with a broken heart. While many of our members are going through divorce, separation, or the end of a long-term relationship, you do not have to be going through a divorce to join us. If your heart is broken for any reason—loss, betrayal, confusion, or emotional exhaustion—you are welcome here. This is a place for healing, connection, and hope. 💔 Este grupo es para cualquier persona con el corazón roto. Aunque muchos de nuestros miembros están atravesando un divorcio, separación o el fin de una relación, no es necesario estar divorciándose para unirte. Si tu corazón está roto por cualquier motivo—pérdida, traición, confusión o agotamiento emocional—eres bienvenido aquí. Este es un espacio de sanación, conexión y esperanza. *** 🧭 If you are facing the end of a relationship... Whether you’re navigating a divorce, a difficult separation, or feel your relationship may be heading in that direction, you’ve come to the right place. These meetings offer a powerful kind of support that traditional friendships and family circles often can’t provide. By hearing from others who are walking a similar path, you’ll gain clarity, perspective, and strength. Over time, the chaos begins to make sense and the pain becomes more manageable. 🧭 Si estás enfrentando el final de una relación... Ya sea que estés atravesando un divorcio, una separación difícil o sientas que tu relación va en esa dirección, estás en el lugar correcto. Estas reuniones ofrecen un tipo de apoyo que muchas veces amigos y familiares no pueden brindar. Al escuchar a otros en un camino similar, encontrarás claridad, perspectiva y fortaleza. Poco a poco, la confusión disminuye y el dolor se vuelve más manejable. *** 🤝 What you can expect from this group / Qué puedes esperar: • Support – you are NOT alone / Apoyo – no estás solo • Friendship across all backgrounds / Amistad entre todas las edades y culturas • Good times with great people / Buenos momentos con gente increíble • Practical advice and shared wisdom / Consejos prácticos y experiencias reales • Resources – books, therapists, attorneys, and more / Recursos – libros, terapeutas, abogados y más • Meaningful conversation / Conversaciones significativas Our meetings are held **Thursday nights from 8:00–9:30 PM Eastern**, online and open worldwide, with attendees from across the U.S. and other countries.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
