Group 1597883699.png

This group gave me tools I didn’t even know I needed. I used to feel completely overwhelmed by my emotions, and now I have actual skills to ground myself and respond differently. The space felt safe, supportive, and judgment-free — and Salma’s way of teaching made everything feel so accessible and human.
