Anxiety & Your Body: Getting Unstuck

Join us for a three-part psycho-educational and experiential group series at The Well. This group experience will focus on the mind-body connection in anxiety, emphasizing how physical sensations and emotional responses are linked. Each session will include:

1. Brief psychoeducation about anxiety and the nervous system.

2. Somatic tools such as breathwork, grounding, gentle movement, and guided visualization.

3. Group reflection/discussion to process experiences and normalize challenges.

4. Take-home practices to encourage skill integration between sessions.

By combining education, experiential practice, and peer support, this group will help participants recognize and interrupt patterns of anxiety while building confidence in using body-based strategies.

Course details:

  • Duration: 3 weekly sessions, Thursdays (Oct. 23, 30, Nov 6), 6:00 – 7:30 PM

  • Cost: Free
