SUMMER GROUP THERAPY PROGRAMME
10 sessions · Wednesday 6:00 – 8:00 PM · online · 24 June – 26 August 2026 · 10 spots · closed group
Understanding ≠ healing.
Why group therapy?
AI will explain your patterns. Books will give you concepts. Instagram will give you aha moments. But the nervous system doesn't change through reading. It changes through relationship. Through real, repeated, safe connection with another person. Through being seen – and staying.
That is the one thing AI and free content simply cannot give you. And that is exactly what group therapy provides.
Who is Resonance for?
You know why you react the way you do. You still react the same way.
You analyse every message from your partner. Every pause. Every word.
You help everyone around you, but asking for help yourself feels like weakness.
You feel emotionally empty – and you don't know where that energy went.
Your mind can't switch off, even when your body says: STOP.
Closeness draws you in and frightens you at the same time.
You feel relief after a session with your therapist, but the pattern stays.
You want to be seen – without having to explain yourself.
You sense your body is telling you something. You just don't know what.
You know yourself. And yet nothing changes.
Programme – ten sessions
Each session is 2 hours online, in a closed group. We work with the body, emotions and relational patterns – we don't just talk about them.
Body Map
Where emotions live in your body. First contact with the group.
01
When Asking for Help Hurts
Self-reliance as a learned pattern.
02
Running on Empty
Emotional exhaustion and where energy actually comes from.
03
Your Inner Bodyguard
Defence mechanisms that once protected you – and now hold you back.
04
Deeper Than Small Talk
What blocks real contact. Surface vs. presence.
05
Closeness Without a Mask
Vulnerability not as weakness, but as a path to connection.
06
Who Speaks When You Go Silent
The inner critic's voice. Internalised voices of others.
07
The Space Where You Breathe
The nervous system in safety. Co-regulation in practice.
08
When the Pieces Come Together
Integration. What has shifted. What remains different.
09
Home to Yourself
Final session. Closing the group. The next step.
10
A journey from body map to home within yourself.

Programme fee: €400
Individual therapy costs €90 per hour. In Resonance, you work with me for 20 hours – in a space individual therapy cannot replace: live group dynamics, mirroring from people going through the same thing, and nervous system co-regulation in real time.
Before confirming your place, you will have a short 30-minute introductory call. Not to assess you – but because a group only works when it is composed thoughtfully. This call is part of the value you are paying for.
Attendance at each session is part of the group process – your presence affects not only you, but the entire group dynamic. The programme fee therefore covers your reserved place and facilitation of all 10 sessions regardless of attendance. Missed sessions are neither compensated nor refunded.
If you know in advance that you will miss a session, please let me know – the group holds it better when it knows.
Seven questions that actually belong here:
Is this for me if I have no experience with group therapy? Most participants arrive with no group therapy experience at all. That is exactly why the introductory call exists – so we can figure out together whether the group is the right step for you right now. You don't need to know anything in advance.
Will I have to speak? Not on cue. The group is not a space where we take turns giving monologues. You set your own pace – you can be present, observe, feel. Your voice will come when you are ready. And the group process works with what remains unspoken too.
Does it work as well online as in person? Research confirms that online group therapy is equally effective as in-person. The nervous system registers safety through a screen – co-regulation, mirroring and group dynamics all work. All you need: a quiet place, a stable internet connection and 2 hours just for yourself.
What if I miss a session? Attendance at each session is part of the group process. If you know in advance about a conflict, please let me know. The programme fee is non-refundable – it covers your reserved place and facilitation of all 10 sessions.
Will there be someone I know? The group is closed and confidential. The same commitment to confidentiality applies to all participants.
Is this therapy or coaching? Therapy. We work with deeper patterns, not just strategies. If you are looking for coaching, I offer that too – but Resonance is a therapeutic space.
Can I pay in instalments? On an individual basis. Write to me before the introductory call.
I walk with you. Not ahead of you.
Dr. Ivana
Čergeťová
PhDr., PhD., LL.M, MBA, PCIC
Psychologist, NLP coach and relational therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience. I facilitate group therapy from the conviction that relationship is the most powerful therapeutic tool that exists. I see it as a space where the nervous system truly learns – not just understands.
I trained directly with Una McCluskey (UK), a pioneer in attachment-oriented group work, and I am certified in polyvagal theory by the Polyvagal Institute (USA) – Stephen Porges' institute, where the theory was developed.
Group work is not a compromise compared to individual therapy. It is a different – and for many themes, more powerful – therapeutic tool.
