Peer Group Chat // Healing from Invalidation// Thursday the 30th of June 2022 7-8:30pm AEST

Hello, forumites!

Just a reminder that this week's Peer Group Chat will be held tonight, Thursday the 30^th of June 2022 at 7:00 – 8:30PM (AEST), where we will explore the topic of Healing from Invalidation.

A bit about the group:

Invalidation is a form of trauma that involves the act of rejecting, judging, or ignoring a person’s thoughts, feelings, and emotions as being valid and understandable. The impact of invalidation may require - for some people - ongoing work to rebuild self-esteem, trust, and self-identity. Let us come together to share our thoughts and experiences surrounding healing from invalidation.
