Come vent your frustrations, air your woes, with Reimagining Recovery, Portland's most prestigious (and only) neurodiversity club! More info TBA. We'll provide supplies for making a small booklet that you'll create to take home, or bring your own journal to decorate while we round-table share what we could Most Definitely Do Without FREE!

Affirmations for the Self-Loathing

Taborspace 5441 SE Belmont St, Portland, OR, United States

"I am open to the best things in life" -or- "I am immediately distrustful of good things, because i'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, but I will eventually accept that things go okay sometimes... begrudgingly" Which statement do you relate to more? If the latter, this group might be the one for you! We'll make and decorate booklets to take home where you can write your own customized (more believable) affirmations to inject a little positivity in our daily lives (but not too much!)
