The Focus Of Womens Spiritual Support Groups

By John Kelly


When it comes to needing help from others, it can often be difficult to know where to turn. While there are often a number of Womens Spiritual Support Groups, this is not the case for all women. For, those whom are not religious or spiritual are often barred from these groups. As such, it is important that all women have a place to turn in a time of need.

In most cases, spiritual groups are associated with a church, synagogue, temple or religion. Whereas, secular groups often operated by different non-profit organizations. It is up to each woman to find the group which best fits current needs. For, there may be times in life when a spiritual group is more appropriate and other times, when one operated by a non-profit might be a better choice.

In cases where an individual is being held back due to a specific issue or issues, it is important to get help. For, there are a number of circumstances and situations which can prevent people from living a full and productive life. In some cases, women can go into isolation for large periods of time. It is only human nature to react in this way when grieving, hurting, suffering a loss, struggling or dealing with anxiety and depression.

Many women become fearful and isolated when going through difficult times. While this is a natural reaction, it is not the healthiest option. For, women whom are isolated and vulnerable can often be targets for a number of scammers and thieves. As such, it is often advised that women whom are feeling isolated and withdrawn seek out help either from a group or a professional such as a psychologist or psychiatrist who can help the woman process the feelings associated with the incident.

Other areas where women often have issues dealing with life is with regards to coming out as Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgender. For, in doing so, an individual opens oneself up to a great deal of discrimination and ridicule from those whom are homophobic. It is important that when women experience this abuse, whether verbal or physical, it be reported to the authorities. For, while there have been many losses with regards to LGBTQ+ rights, hate crimes are still illegal.

In many areas, bisexual women get labeled as having heterosexual privilege when living or married to man. While this is perceived, it is not always the case. For, many bisexual women living with members of the same-sex often experience the same discrimination, bigotry and homophobia of those in the larger community.

In order to provide a safe space for these individuals, there are often a number of LGBTQ+ support groups around the country. In one case, Biversity Boston offers a group called BiSpace. While this is a mixed group, there are also resources which are related only to women, including the Boston Bisexual Women's Newsletter which provides a great deal of support through articles, editorials, new stories and poetry each quarter.

Many bisexual women are in loving, monogamous supportive relationships. Whereas, there are others whom are married or in a relationship and polyamorous. While the LGBTQ+ community has made great strides in becoming more accepted by society, polyamory is at the forefront of this fight. As such, there are now a number of online social and support groups related to the lifestyle which are forming around the world. If looking for a group of this nature, many can be found on social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter.
