Important to know:
This is part of an informal qualitative study. It is not a substitute for therapy and may not be suitable for those in acute emotional states or currently using medications that significantly affect perception. All participation is voluntary but requires commitment to steady attendance and reflection, as the research depends on consistency. Responses will be kept confidential and shared only in summary form. Participants are expected to join with reliable internet access and to engage in a respectful environment that honors the principles of Holding Space.
