Postpartum Group Therapy Guelph
Move Through It: Postpartum Process Group
Why this group exists
Postpartum life can feel like you’re holding everything together — the feedings, the routines, the expectations — while quietly falling apart inside.
You might be wondering:
- Where did the old me go?
- Why do I feel so alone, even when I'm never alone?
- How do I ask for what I need without feeling guilty or dramatic?
This group was created for that tender in-between - the space where you're still finding your footing after everything has changed.
What we do together
Each week, we meet in a small, confidential group (7–8 members) to slow down, share what’s real, and practice showing up for ourselves.
- Express postpartum's anger, guilt, grief & shame without judgement
- Gain a new understanding of what these feelings are trying to tell you
- Ask for and receive support more easily
- Navigate changing relationships with more confidence
- Reconnect with yourself - not the “old you,” but a steadier version grounded in your new reality
What Makes This Group Different
Move Through It is grounded in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT): an evidence-based approach proven to help with postpartum depression, anxiety, and adjustment challenges.
Using IPT, we focus on the real-life relationship changes that shape your emotional health - things like shifting identities, changing partnerships, loss, conflict, and transitions. You’ll gain insight into how your support system, communication patterns, and boundaries impact your well-being - and learn new ways to strengthen them.
Over time, you’ll notice what’s possible when you’re no longer navigating it alone:
less guilt and isolation
more authentic connection
growing confidence in your needs, limits, and voice
