You can! I recommend that if you have the time and the friends for it. Wading through books and articles to find the right resources for your circumstances can take a lot of time and energy that most people don't have. And unless your friends are also supporting partners who are trans, non-binary or gender-questioning, you might not get the same level of understanding you'll get from other partners in the program.

Most support groups are led by peers who might be struggling just as much as you are. Even when they have a facilitator, many support groups aren’t structured to educate the members on the topics they need to understand to feel better about whatever they need support on. The Virtual Partner Meetups are designed to empower you with the guidance, education and support you need to offer meaningful support to your transgender, non-binary and gender-questioning partner without losing sight of your needs or the needs of your relationship.

It's normal to feel nervous about being with people you don't know (yet). I’m careful to craft the spaces I facilitate with your experience in mind. Coming together to learn and seek support can feel incredibly vulnerable, and I take that into account in the pacing, format and group agreements that the meetups are centered around. While I can’t promise safety or comfort, I am intentional about how we come together. 

The Virtual Partner Meetups are designed to ease you into the process as painlessly as possible. We'll begin by establishing group agreements that center confidentiality, consent, non-judgment, and respect. You won't be expected to share anything you don't want to share or act any way that's not authentic to you. In fact, you'll be encouraged to move slowly and intentionally, building relationships with other partners you feel drawn to through structured and facilitated conversations. Who knows? You may just meet someone you actually want to talk to outside of the meetup.

And if building community with other partners isn't why you're here, you'll still get a lot out of the video lessons, handouts, worksheets and resource list.

Each person in this course and at the Virtual Partner Meetups will be on their own partnership journey. There will be parts of each person’s story you can relate to and parts you can’t. And that will be true for your story too. 

Fear of rejection is universal, but so is the settling that comes from being heard non-judgmentally and with compassion. That's the kind of space we'll be creating together: a space where you can feel seen and heard, no matter what circumstances you find  yourself in.

Because we’ll be building relationships and sharing about personal topics, the meetups won’t be recorded. You'll learn about the next meetup at least a month in advance, and you'll get a chance to share what days and times work best for you in your time zone. Even if you can't make it to any Virtual Partner Meetups, you'll still have lifetime access to the video lessons, handouts, worksheets and the Resource List for Empowered Partners. You'll also have other opportunities to connect with partners in the course as we build the Empowered Partners online community together.

No. While I am a licensed therapist, the purpose of Empowered Partners is to provide education, information and peer support. I won't be giving professional or therapeutic advice or assessing, diagnosing, or treating any mental health disorder. When you sign up for Empowered Partners, you become a member of the program, not a client of mine.

If you want to be a part of Empowered Partners but finances are a barrier, please reach out. My hope is to make this program accessible to everyone who could use this type of support.
