Clients can expect to learn new coping strategies, a broader education about psychology, themselves, their feelings and learn how to manage their feelings They will learn how to focus on their needs without feeling shame or guilt, i.e. good self-care. They will gain self- confidence, self-esteem, better boundaries, leave toxic relationships and create healthier relationships/lifestyle including with themselves.
