### About the Group

Dating while living with a chronic illness can bring unique emotional and relational challenges, including fears of rejection, emotional exhaustion, questions around disclosure, and struggles with self-worth. This group offers a safe and reflective space to explore these experiences openly, reduce feelings of isolation, and build healthier ways of approaching intimacy, communication, and connection.

### Who is the Group For?

This group is for individuals living with chronic medical conditions—whether visible or invisible—who want support in navigating dating and relationships. It is especially helpful for those feeling emotionally overwhelmed, fearful of rejection or misunderstanding, struggling with confidence, or wanting practical and emotional tools to approach dating in a more grounded and self-compassionate way.

### What to Expect

Participants leave with greater clarity, emotional validation, and a more compassionate and confident approach to dating and connection.
