What is Grounding Nursing?

A six-week therapeutic support group offers nurses a confidential, supportive space to

connect with one another, reflect on their personal and professional experiences, and explore

the emotional demands of their work.

Purpose

The purpose is to create a space where nurses can feel comfortable being themselves, where individuality is respected, and where experiences can be expressed and acknowledged without judgment or an expectation that someone must immediately offer a solution.

At the heart of this group is the understanding that our experiences shape us, both personally and professionally, and that meaningful connection with ourselves and others is an important part of our well-being. Through shared conversation, narrative reflection, nervous-system awareness, grounding, and self-compassion, nurses are invited to better understand their experiences, recognize their own needs, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that can become less accessible when caring for others.

The Core Therapeutic Pillars

  • Identity, Individuality and Belonging

  • Values and Authenticity

  • Self-Compassion

  • The Nervous System as Information

  • Emotional Expression and Creative Processing

  • Connection Without Fixing

  • Real Conversation and Shared Experience

  • Choice, Agency and Personal Capacity

Together We Will:

Explore the cumulative impact of nursing, reflect and share experiences. Learn strategies to help with nervous-system regulation, creating boundaries, exploring loss and transition, practicing self-compassion, finding connection with others, and the impacts of occupational stress on our mental health and wellbeing.
