A weekly group therapy which is a space that invites focus on understanding one’s experience of PCOS, the ways in which it impacts various aspects of life, find connection with others with similar or different experiences and make meaning collectively in a safe space.

The hope is that we meet week after week to peel back layers of experience, give and receive support for things that come up within the space, whether PCOS related or not.

PCOS impacts one in every three women in India and yet it’s lived experiences find neither space nor acknowledgement. PCOS is more than just a medical occurrence, it deeply impacts the ways in which others and ourselves experience and view us. It shapes our appearance, the ways in which we relate to our bodies, it’s connections to the ideas of motherhood and ‘womanhood’, our experience of pain and physical suffering, and how we view ourselves in relational spaces with romantic/sexual partners, workspaces or social gatherings. In what can be a difficult experience, it is important to find connection, support and expression.

This is how the idea of the group came into being.

People with Experience of PCOS

Group therapy is an experience of exploring ourselves in the setting of having others as both: witnesses and contributors to our journeys. It is a commitment not just to the process of therapy but also to the members of the group and what is being collectively experienced, alongside your individual experience. This can be powerful in lending a feeling of belonging, and in helping one find their separateness in that too. The presence of as many perspectives as there are group members, makes therapy richer as everyone participates in various capacities with every members’ experiences to help and gain clarity into one’s own concerns. It can address interpersonal concerns much more directly through interaction with other group members.

Individual support may be recommended alongside group therapy.
