Have You Recently Moved to NYC?
By Taylor Ashe, MHC-LP
GROUP DESCRIPTION
Regardless of the circumstances, relocating to a new city can be an emotional experience. Many people experience conflicting emotions such as excitement, fear, hopefulness, awe, and loneliness.
Regular visits with friends quickly become phone calls, and your daily routine is disrupted as you search for a new favorite coffee spot. These changes can lead to social anxiety, heightened self-criticism, and isolation from others.
With the right skills and opportunity for open discussion with others, though, it is possible to manage the painful emotions and build meaningful connections. In this group, you will foster new awareness and curiosity, and you will practice skills to manage difficult feelings like loneliness and anxiety, all among people who “get it.”
