DPM Midlife Women's Group
Midlife is a challenging time, which is why Dr. Whiten introduced the DPM Midlife Women’s Group! Every other Thursday at 10a ET, we meet virtually for an hour. Bring coffee! We even have members from the West Coast who are powering through the early time to be a part of this. This is a coaching group, not a therapy or formal “support” group… although it’s certainly a friendly and supportive atmosphere! Are you a fit?
-
Open minded and coming from a place of wanting to learn and connect
-
Want to engage and participate… all cameras will be ON! Yes, even if you are an introvert. So am I!
-
Between ages 40-55 (if you’re turning 40 this or next year… okay, okay, you can join)
-
Comfortable discussing real issues openly… like relationship dissatisfaction, sex lives, physical changes at midlife
-
Show up as your genuine self… this isn’t for anyone to “network” or sell any products or services
-
Open to new ideas as they emerge… for example, maybe we will read and discuss a book one week or have a guest speaker (like a doctor who specializes in hormonal changes at this stage) another week
-
Interested in the general ideas that characterize the Dr. Psych Mom philosophy… be open about the idea of introspection, open to discussing sex when it comes up, open to the idea of therapy (at least not dismissive of the field), no judgment about any relationship decisions (for example, the decision to divorce, or the idea to NOT get divorced). This isn’t a group where bashing men (or any other group of humans) is okay, but it also isn’t a group where we have to act Pollyannish about relationship difficulties.
Each group’s meeting has a theme/discussion topic. All women are welcome; parents, non parents, married, single, divorced. You pay once a month: $75 for two meetings. Your payment is charged the first day of the month; you can cancel that payment the day before for the upcoming month. You pay the same amount no matter how many meetings you can attend. There is also a private Facebook group where members can share articles or podcasts or anything that the group may find interesting. You are invited once you join.
Again, this is NOT therapy, so cannot be reimbursed by or even submitted to insurance. Anyone from any state or country can attend.
If you are a member and refer a new member who joins, you get a free month!
Meeting time/day will be changed on holidays or if I rarely have to cancel for some reason.
Let’s go! This is an awesome group of women, and of course you are encouraged to develop real friendships from this group. That has already happened in my Facebook group! To sign up, please fill out this form and you will be contacted if you are a fit for the group! We meet on Zoom. When our membership gets too large for real discussion, we will start another session on another day/time.
