How Starfish Can Benefit Therapy

• Starfish classes help reawaken people who have shut down for self-protection


• Participation can unlock blocked feelings, fostering awareness of emotions and unconscious beliefs. Participants can bring that awareness into therapy for support and exploration.


• Our classes help normalize feelings and behaviors common to survivors, like shame, unworthiness, numbness, and people-pleasing. As participants begin to recognize these reactions as normal and adaptive, they grow more comfortable addressing them in therapy.
