Lovely experience It has been lovely to meet with like minded people and have great, healing conversations without having to make eye contact and being able to do something with my hands. This is a great entry to group therapy.

Always making people feel welcome and… Always making people feel welcome and not forgotten about. Theres a lot of things I forget I brought up previously or that we moved on from for a moment and then circled back around to as opposed to just ending the topic unresolved. I've been feeling a lot better and looking forward to speaking with the group every week.

A great experience I absolutely love Rachel (my journey guide) She is great, so friendly and is so supportive. I think it's just great that they offer this service because it's much more anxiety friendly than going into a psychologist office. I also love the group aspect because it's a chance to make new friends, play some new video games and for someone quiet like me, other people to lead the conversation where I can chime in with my experiences and everything. It's just so much more comfortable than any office I've been into.

First Ever Positive Group Experience This is the first group mental health experience that I have undertaken that has been a true benefit to me and my overall wellbeing. Many tries at traditional group therapy in the past have lead to inevitably giving up and feeling even more demoralized and broken than before, so it is a welcome change and a huge relief to find an experience that is constructive for me and not alienating or uncomfortable to participate in. Our session leader, Sam, is super helpful, respectful, and insightful and does a great job guiding our group through conversations while we are each able to use gaming as a way to not only connect to each other, but also to provide a comforting, stable, and positively diverting base beneath us as we work through sometimes difficult topics or moments of personal processing. I am glad to have learned of Hero Journey Club and to have been brave enough to give it a go!
