We come to group to share our stories of Self-Reflection.
Self-Reflection is a tool used to clarify and find honesty within ourselves. It is a way of throwing out the lies we tell ourselves and facing the truth, however painful it may be.
The things buried within us are dark and violent. They need to be exposed. No matter how dark and violent your thoughts are, the people around you have had the same or similar thoughts. You are not alone.
We come to group to learn from and observe others in our situation. We are not here to undo our crimes. No crime can be undone. They may be survived or healed, but not denied. We all have some self-hate - a destructive side, the side we struggle to keep locked up our entire lives - that is alive within us.
We come to group to admit our errors, to embrace them, and then move along in a more positive direction.
