What we’re about
"Return to Connect" is a community reminding us to Return to our most resourced selves, in order to fully connect with other and our goals. Ly-Lan Lofgren, therapist and coach, leads these meetings to help people practice helpful tools to reach their goals.
Our free groups are 15 minutes of EMDR and EFT Tapping led by LCSW Therapist, Ly-Lan Lofgren. Q&A and socializing is available after the 15 minute practice.
We meet to support each other in regular practice of EMDR and EFT Tapping, Mindfulness practices and body doubling. These are evidence-based brain exercises that often make us feel more grounded and resourced immediately. We also have an optional WhatsApp Group for daily support. 15 minutes of practicing together with a live therapist available for Q&A. Sometimes if EMDR or EFT tapping is not working, it can be helpful to have some guidance on getting more specific.
Meetings include a variety of free and paid, zoom and in-person offerings.
