#spfpp support groups

Malia shares her experience having taken advantage of the opportunity our donors provided for 12 people to have received 12 sessions of group therapy through Something Positive for Positive People. A major highlight here is how healing, through therapy at least is seen as a luxury, when it’s such a necessity. I’m validated in my recent thoughts that SPFPP ought to be MORE in a sense of expanding beyond therapy for people with herpes.I have a realistic vision for this to be a space where people positive and optimistic about their healing process can receive the support they need,. Healing WILL become more accessible through what we’ve built here.

I met our guest at her first social herpes support group event in Kentucky. She and I got to chat for a bit and she was down to do a podcast episode with me around her experience with the support group. This led to her sharing her experience navigating narcissism in her family and partners. She shares her healing process having gone through quite a bit of sexual trauma (trigger warning). Therapy has supported her in being able to enter a healthy relationship, This episode does highlight the importance of support as well.
