Girl Talk: Do I Even Want a Relationship, or Do I Want to Not Be Alone

wanting someone and not wanting to be alone aren't the same thing.

Wed Oct 21 · 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Well Psychotherapy Library
601 N Carrollton Ave, New Orleans, LA 70119

Not every relationship question is about love — sometimes it's about fear. This circle is built around the harder, more honest version of the question: are you looking for a partner, or are you trying not to be alone? Same format as last time: real ground rules, no script, no pressure to share.

Spots available
12

A facilitated circle, held with care, for anyone sorting out the difference between wanting someone and not wanting to be alone.

6:00 PM
Arrival & Settle In
Grab a spot in the circle, drop any snacks you brought on the table to share.
6:15 PM
Opening & Ground Rules
What's said in the circle stays in the circle. No pressure to share, and no one's here to fix or advise, just listen.
6:25 PM
Step Forward, Step Back
A silent exercise: step forward if a statement about wanting a partner versus fearing being alone resonates with you, then step back before the next one. You see who's standing with you before anyone says a word.
6:40 PM
Open Circle
Facilitator-led conversation on the difference between wanting a partner and not wanting to be alone. No forced order, speak when you're ready.

Closing Circle
One word, going around the room, for what you're taking with you tonight.

    What if I don't want to share anything?

    Totally fine. There's no pressure to talk. You can pass anytime — just listening is a full way to participate.

    Is this therapy?

    No. It's a facilitated conversation, not a clinical session.

    Do I need to be single to come?

    No. This isn't about your relationship status right now — it's for anyone sorting out the difference between wanting a partner and fearing being alone, single or not.
