Transformational Group Process is a deeply experiential and relational approach to group therapy. With decades of experience facilitating groups in diverse settings, we are dedicated to guiding participants through meaningful personal and interpersonal growth.What You Will LearnThe problems we wrestle with in life don’t happen in isolation. We all exist in a web of connections with others that impact every aspect of who we are. Psychology refers to this web as systems. A relationship dynamic will be involved when we’re stuck, in pain, or wrestling with an inner or outer dilemma. When trying to change, we must address what is happening inside ourselves (emotionally and cognitively) and outside in our connection with others.We learn more by experience than through the intellect. Emerging from our childhoods, our sense of identity and self are largely sculpted by intense experience, whether positive or negative. Healing and reclaiming of self also must be an intense, safe emotional experience. This is the TGP Awakening. We learn how to 'wake up' the internal pathways to reclaiming a level of authenticity, which is the essential ingredient for a healthy self and healthy relationships.A follow-up group Whatsapp will be offered online to offer support for the ongoing process.How It Will HelpTaking a moment for yourself, to grow and heal, is huge—and we’re here to guide you and cheer you on. Our approach is all about genuine, heartfelt connections that can spark REAL change in your life. Because being open is just the starting point; what lies beneath is a beautiful, connected you, waiting to be rediscovered.It is time to face yourself. It's time to get REAL.Because you love your life and want to maximize your felt sense of life itself in all relational aspects. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/0c49dae0-9cf6-11f0-bcef-bf1f5dd0d4fa-rimg-w592-h740-dc2e415f-gmir.jpg Price$800 CAD - Workshop Price.

We've been working with groups in various settings for decades. What we've realized over the years is that it is the collective experience that transforms. We're beginning to understand more about why that is.When we form connections in our lives we are likely to gravitate toward similar people, like a 'club'. When a more random group of people sign up for a workshop, the only common factor is the desire to grow. You may end up hearing from another group member who reminds you of someone you struggle with. Through the process, your view of both the person sharing and the person they remind you of shifts. You are likely to feel empathy and compassion, often in places you didn't expect.In group process, you're very likely to hear from others who share struggles similar to your own. As we work with that person, you get to have the emotional experience of their process along with them. Their process becomes yours, and you benefit from the greater self-awareness seeing yourself in another provides. This shared journey fosters a deeper understanding of not just others, but of yourself, creating a network of mutual support and growth.This structured therapeutic process can be a launching pad for your personal evolution and real life relationships.How does it differ from one-on-one therapy?In one-on-one therapy, the focus is mainly on your inner world. A therapist working with you will use the safety and dynamics of your relationship to help you become more self-aware and grow. This kind of therapy creates a safe space where you can work through past hurts, understand yourself better, and try being more authentic in your everyday life.Transformational Group Process gives you the added benefit of connecting with others who, like you, are eager to grow, from all walks of life. While a one-on-one therapist can help you make significant personal breakthroughs, they can't offer the unique, life-changing insights you get from seeing others be vulnerable, share your struggles, and provide direct insight into what might be going on in your relationships. Transformational Group Process brings not just personal revelations but also relational ones, giving you profound insights into how you relate to others. This group setting helps you understand and empathize with others, enhancing your own journey of growth.History of Transformational Group ProcessDeveloped by Catherine & Duane O’Kane, authors, international speakers, and psychotherapists with several decades of experience specializing in therapeutic experiential groupwork.www.catherineandduaneokane.comCatherine has a Master’s degree in Psychology, is a Registered Clinical Counsellor, Supervisor and has been a practicing therapist engaged in personal and professional development since 1993.Duane is a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a lengthy mental health and social services background, since he started in the field in the late 80s.They are both passionate about helping people find their way back to a fuller sense of themselves and into meaningful connection in all their significant relationships.They live together, work together, have raised a family, and continue to love each other through life’s passages. For many years, they leaned into the popular idea that their primary relationship was the key to their happiness – or unhappiness. They now see the human need for connection in a much bigger context. This informs every aspect of how they live and work.Catherine & Duane were honoured to be featured in the multiple award-winning documentary REAL: the Bravest Thing You Will Ever Be, which continues to gain global recognition for its crucial message.This is what Dr Gabor Mate had to say about the documentary which recorded the experience of the 3 day workshop"...offers pathways to authentic self-discovery—or, more accurately, self-recovery. Expect to learn and to grow, expect to be moved."~DR.
