What we’re about
"Return to Connect" is a community reminding us to Return to our most resourced selves, in order to fully connect with each other and our goals.
Ly-Lan Lofgren, therapist, coach, and speaker leads these meetings to help people practice helpful tools to reach their goals.
Our Free groups are 15 minutes of EMDR and EFT Tapping led by LCSW Therapist, Ly-Lan Lofgren. Q&A and socializing is available after the 15 minute practice. We have up to 80 members practicing together, live, internationally. It's a powerful group experience, and only takes 15 minutes. We are an international group in membership, and Ly-Lan can usually be found in California or New Jersey.
We meet to support each other in regular practice of EMDR and EFT Tapping, Mindfulness practices and body doubling. These are evidence-based brain and nervous system exercises that often make us feel more grounded and resourced immediately. We also have an optional WhatsApp Group for daily support.
Meetings include a variety of free and paid, zoom and in-person offerings.
