Life can be a real struggle sometimes and too many people have limited emotional support in their existing friend or family groups. Even those who have a large family or large group of people that they would call “friends” can often times find it difficult to really be themselves, or be truly vulnerable with. There are many different reasons why we end up surrounded by people that we don’t really feel comfortable showing our true deeper emotional self with. The proliferation of social media has done far more damage than good to our ability to form the deeper bonds that nearly every human being craves. Our mission at deeperbonds.org is to fill the void that many people feel. We are a safe space of open and like-minded people who gather in small groups of 5-10 people each week to get to know and grow with each other. Everyone who comes to join deeperbonds must agree to leave their judgement of others behind, and approach all other members with empathy and understanding. Having an open heart and an open mind is the only way to truly form deeper bonds.
it is often easier to be vulnerable with a patient and understanding stranger than it is to even your closest friends. The primary reason for this is because you have much less to “lose” by sharing with a stranger because you are “less invested” with them than you are with those who have been in your life for a long time, or are heavily invested with in other ways. (Make a podcast episode and/or write an article about why this is and link it here). However, all relationships require some form of an “investment” in order for them to be successful. This fact is one of the reasons traditional “Therapy” is so prevalent today, because people need to reach outside of their immediate social circle to talk about things that are difficult to talk about with those around them. It’s very important to understand that deeperbonds.org is not a replacement for therapy. But, sometimes you don’t need therapy, you just need some good friends to talk too, and thats what we offer here at deeperbonds.org — an opportunity to make deep meaningful friendships with people who, by simply being a member here, have proven that they are willing to invest in friendship, have committed to having an open heart and open mind, and are willing to listen, as well as share.
Not only is traditional therapy not for everyone, it can also be very expensive, with one of the leading online therapy companies costing as much as $400/mo or more, and in-person therapy costing even more for only a 30-minute session every week. What we offer is 1 hour sessions for less than half the price. Again, we are not a replacement for therapy, and if you feel the need for therapy we highly encourage you to seek a therapist. What we offer is a meeting place for a small and intimate group of people to grow and bond together. Each meeting will be led by a friendly, empathetic person who is NOT licenced as a therapist in any way, but is simply very knowledgeable about interpersonal relationships through self-study, observation and life experience.
