Psychotherapeutic group "Monsters of Femininity"

The Ukrainian Institute of Applied Psychology and Psychotherapy invites you to Oksana Kudri's sychotherapeutic group - "Monsters of Femininity" Part 1.

"The true essence of close relationships is that they are never better than our attitude towards ourselves" - James Hollis

Each of us has "monsters" that restrain femininity in the manifestation:
- fear of judgment;
- shame of being "visible";
- guilt for our own desires;
- the feeling that femininity is weakness or danger.

It is these internal "monsters" that often affect:
- choice of partners;
- quality of intimacy;
- contact with the body and sensuality;
- the ability to choose yourself.

"Dear women, I invite you to a psychotherapeutic group dedicated to the study of femininity -
not as a social role, but as an internal experience that is formed through relationships, prohibitions, shame and the right to be yourself.
This group is an opportunity to see, understand and change the way you interact with yourself.”- Oksana Kudrya

The group is for you if:
- it is difficult for you to freely express your femininity and you do not have enough resources for this;
- there is internal criticism, shame or fear of evaluation;
- you often feel guilty when choosing yourself;
- there is tension or contradiction in your relationship with the “image of a mother”;
- there is a feeling that “I do not allow myself to live the way I want”.

During the group you will be able to:
- better understand how your internal limitations were formed;
- notice your “stops” in manifestation and contact;
- explore the influence of family experience on your femininity;
- reduce the level of shame and internal criticism;
- feel more freedom and resource in choosing yourself and your manifestations.
