There’s a particular kind of exhaustion that comes from caring deeply in difficult times. This summer, Lifeologie Counseling Plano/Richardson is offering an 8-week supportive group designed to help adults build emotional resilience skills in the face of ongoing stress and global uncertainty.
You check the headlines hoping for clarity and leave feeling anxious. You scroll social media searching for connection and end up emotionally depleted. Between political tension, violence, economic uncertainty, climate concerns, and the lingering effects of a global pandemic, many people are carrying stress that feels both deeply personal and impossibly collective.
If you’ve found yourself overwhelmed, emotionally reactive, numb, angry, hopeless, or simply tired of feeling “on edge,” you are not alone — and you are not failing.
Emotional resilience is not about pretending everything is fine. It’s not toxic positivity, emotional suppression, or learning how to “just ignore it. Resilience is the ability to:
For many people today, emotional fatigue shows up as:
This group creates space to explore those experiences openly, without judgment, while learning practical tools for coping, grounding, and reconnecting with yourself and your community.
This closed psychoeducational group will meet for 8 weeks, focusing on evidence-based emotional resilience strategies, including:
Sessions begin with a group check-in and a warm-up activity to help participants settle in and connect. Facilitators will introduce each week’s topic, followed by guided discussion, reflection, and optional experiential exercises.
Participants are encouraged to share thoughts, feelings, and personal experiences at their own comfort level. Some sessions may also include simple take-home practices or reflection exercises to help integrate skills into daily life.
One of the most painful parts of emotional overwhelm is the feeling that you’re carrying it alone.
We are creating this group for adults who share a desire for peace, social justice, mutual understanding, and emotional balance during an increasingly turbulent era. People of all genders, sexualities, ethnic backgrounds, and spiritual or religious beliefs are welcome.
Participants often discover that hearing others articulate similar fears, frustrations, and hopes can be deeply grounding. Healing doesn’t always happen in isolation; sometimes it begins when we realize other people are struggling with the same questions we are.
What if we stopped fighting our emotions and started listening to them instead?
What if anxiety, grief, anger, and compassion could become guides rather than enemies?
What if resilience isn’t about hardening ourselves, but learning how to stay human in difficult times?
Join us online Fridays from 11 AM–12:30 PM! We'll meet for 8 weeks from June 19 - August 14, 2026 (with a holiday break on July 3).
Spaces are limited to 12 participants to help create a supportive, connected group experience. To learn more or reserve your spot, email our group leader Joni Rorije, LPC, at jrorije@wefixbrains.com.
