Savoir raconter l'histoire de nos blessures et de nos luttes est essentiel pour guérir et devenir plus fort. Rise to Bloom vous invite à transformer vos luttes en histoires de guérison. Nous avons crée des «groupes de partage» de 4 personnes maximum dans chaque groupe, qui se sont réunis 6 fois 1 heure par semaine pour écrire et parler de leurs luttes dans un espace sûr et respectueux sans censure. Un expert psychologue animera les réunions. Les groupes de partage continuent sous la direction du département de psychologie de l'USJ.

A psychologist expert facilitated the meetings. Our Story groups continue under the direction of USJ department of psychology.

At first, I was rather skeptical. What good can this exercise do me? However, the intellectual approach intrigued me and I decided to give it a try. I was also encouraged by the fact that we worked in groups of 4. During the first session, I wanted to test the waters. The small group seemed very nice, the facilitator held the session well, neither too restrictive nor too permissive; it all gave me confidence. Therefore, I decided to play the game rigorously even though I was not sure of the outcome. I already knew from experience that several practices (yoga, meditation, breathing, repeating mantras) achieve their goal without an explicit explanation on why or how they do it, so I was ready to give this exercise a chance. I would like to talk about my experience by detailing 5 elements of this practice that stood out for me. (Read more)
