EXPLORE OUR GROUP COUNSELING EXPERIENCES
The Cost of Keeping the Peace
Group Experience: Book Club Series
You’ve spent years being the one who:
smoothes out the conflict
scans the room to make sure everyone else is comfortable
swallows the words because saying it feels costly
gives in because it feels easier than the fight
You’ve kept the peace, but there is also something that feels very hollow and unsettling too.
The problem is that you have kept the peace for everyone else but you!
There is a cost to this kind of silence. It allows you to manage a level of calm in relationships, but your needs never get met, you feel tired, empty, depleted, and unseen. The problems never really get resolved, and you feel more disconnected than ever.
In this group experience, we’ll discuss the book “The Cost of Quiet” by Colette Jane Fehr. You’ll meet and connect with other “serial people pleasers” like yourself, while learning why this has kept you comfortable, but unhappy — and how to make small changes so you can find your voice, make peace (not keep it) and resolve conflict without alienating everyone else — or yourself.
Join us in a 4 week online seminar to learn
how this dynamic evolved in the first place
how create peace, not just keep it
how to turn conflict into connection
how to give voice to your own needs without shutting everyone else down
WHO is invited?
Anyone who is ready to take a look at how they are experiencing important relationships.
WHEN does this group experience start?
Thursdays, starting October 1, 2026
7:00 - 8:00 PM CDT

This is a limited 4 week experience
WHAT will the experience be like?
We’ll meet online. Join us from a space where you feel comfortable. A link will be sent to participants prior to the first meeting. There will be opportunities to connect with other participants, if desired.
HOW MUCH ?
The cost for all 4 weeks is a one-time payment of $50. This fee gets you access to the group, and any handouts or materials that support your experience and learning.
We’d love to have you join us to learn more about yourself while also learning skills that can help you create better relationships.
