Held to Hold: a Group for Caregivers

  • The Center for Connection 3030 E. Colorado, Suite 214 Pasadena, California, 91107 USA (map)

Are you . . .

  • Looking to connect with other caregivers?

  • Feeling curious about meaningful self-care?

  • Wanting to shift your relationship with caregiving?

  • Seeking respite from burnout, guilt, and/or resentment?

Then this 4-week group might be for you!

***Caregivers of children, aging parents, siblings, partners, and/or friends are welcome.**


Together, we’ll embark on an experiential mini-series where you’ll practice the art of being with your nervous system in order to expand your capacity to hold those in your care — including yourself!

We’ll cover the following topics:

  • Attachment science

  • Nervous system regulation (self & co-regulation)

  • Mindful self-compassion & grounding strategies
