"I love the feeling of camaraderie and sharing experiences even when we are all so different. Even after just 2 group therapy sessions, I have felt that the insights have had a profound effect on me. I find myself trying be more of a witness to my feelings, and have become more aware of when I am trying to dissociate or push something away.  A breathing exercise of observing thoughts and feelings has reinforced this as well, so that I can stop identifying my core self with how I am (temporarily) feeling. I know these concepts aren’t new or particularly innovative per se, but the gentle way Diya presents them with genuine care and curiosity has reached me in a way I haven’t felt with other therapists."
