In today’s fast-paced, increasingly polarized world, meaningful relationships can feel harder than ever to sustain. The weight of cultural stress, the demands of daily life, and the challenge of finding time for connection can leave us feeling isolated, exhausted, or longing for something more.
At the BCC, our Relational Groups offer a space to slow down, engage in growth-fostering relationships, and experience the healing power of mutual support.
Rediscover Connection in a Disconnected World
Unlike traditional therapy groups or casual social gatherings, Relational Groups are about deliberately co-creating a healing space of connection. These groups are grounded in Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT), which recognizes that we grow through and toward connection. Through accountability and commitment, participants build trust, develop self-awareness, and foster the kind of relationships that sustain and enrich life.
Who Are Relational Groups For?
Really, it’s hard to find someone who wouldn’t benefit from this type of healing connection. Our relational groups can support people who are feeling disconnected, navigating a big life change, looking for the next step after therapy, or seeking a space for meaningful help before stress turns into crisis. If you’re open to growth in connection, there’s a place for you here.
Stressed?
Our world right now is overwhelming, divided, and brimming with uncertainty. It’s tempting to reach for a quick fix, doomscrolling, shutting down, or otherwise numbing ourselves. But cutting ourselves off only makes it harder to sustain a sense of fulfillment and connection. If you’re feeling drained by division, longing for a space where you can be in community, and ready to engage in relationships that nurture rather than deplete, Relational Groups offer a place.
“Our culture makes it harder than ever to connect. Relational Groups provide a space to slow down, be in community, and heal through meaningful relationships.”
Ready For a Next Step After Therapy?
Maybe therapy has helped, and now you’re wondering what’s next? You don’t want to lose the progress you’ve made, but you no longer need a structured clinical setting. If you’re looking for a space to continue growing, reflecting, and connecting without the framework or cost of traditional therapy, Relational Groups provide an ongoing, supportive space for self-exploration and connection.
“Growth doesn’t stop when therapy ends. This group is a way to keep deepening your relationships and personal insight without a clinical focus”
Looking For Meaningful Growth Without Crisis?
You don’t have to be in crisis to deserve support. Too often, we wait until stress becomes overwhelming before we seek help, but what if you could nurture your emotional well-being before disconnection, loneliness, or exhaustion take hold?
Relational Groups offer a proactive way to build relational resilience, ensuring you have the support, skills, and connection you need to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.
“You don’t have to be in crisis to invest in your well-being. If you want to maintain emotional resilience and meaningful relationships, this space is for you.”
What You’ll Gain
Mutually growth-fostering relationships are identified by the Five Good Things. You can expect
- Zest: A delicious sense of energy and joy that emerges when you allow your authentic self out
- Clarity: Increase your understanding of yourself, others, and the world through perspective taking, deep listening, and being heard
- Empowerment: When you’re in growth-fostering relationship, it feels easier to take action. Knowing you have a safe place to debrief, to problem-solve, to grieve, and to explore creates a world of possibility.
- Worth: The experience of being moved by others in the group, and witnessing other people be moved by you increases your sense of worthiness, of belonging. Uncover your own sense of being worthy of love and connection.
- Desire for more: A growth-fostering relationship begets more connection. The skills and insights gained in a relational group are contagious to other areas of your life. You’ll find enrichment in other relationships in your life, and maybe find new relationships along the way.
What to Expect
Our relational groups vary from group to group, including discussion, deep listening, new ways of thinking about connection, and creative expression. You may engage in some expressive arts (no prior skill or knowledge required!), sand tray building, or even some playful ways to explore relational dynamics. Our groups evolve organically, guided by mutuality and present needs rather than a set agenda. Our one constant is a commitment to the relationships— a commitment that creates safety and allows for deeper connection.
How to Join
We welcome new members at select times during the year. If you are interested in joining, the first step is to schedule a 30 minutes Relational Group Intake. This helps make sure you’re in the group that’s right for you, and gives the facilitator what they need to support your journey. You can request an intake by choosing “Relational Group Intake” in our appointment finder in the sidebar, or you can use our contact form.
